Regal Cinemas

A large-format chromogenic print capturing the mundane grandeur of a Regal Cinemas multiplex, rendered with Ethridge's signature blend of commercial slickness and fine art sensibility. The image hovers between documentary photography and advertising imagery, reflecting the artist's ongoing investigation into the circulation of pictures across cultural and commercial contexts. Presented in the artist's own frame, the work emphasizes Ethridge's attention to the photograph as a crafted object, collapsing distinctions between vernacular and high-art modes of image-making.
