‘’I reached inside myself through time’’, 2015 is a complex multi-media installation work specially commissioned for the group exhibition LIAF 2015: Disappearing Acts, Lofoten, Norway’s International Art Festival, curated in 2015 by Matt Packer and Arne Skaug Olsen. The work takes as it point of departure texts from Olaf Stapledon’s imaginative timeline for ”Last and First Men” written in 1930. McNulty presents in a looped LCD display Stapledon’s clusters of words in several timelines of varying magnitude and temporal extremes that propose the history of the formation of the earth and a future threatened by solar catastrophe. The location that inspired the commissioned work is the home of the band A-ha who for a period in the 1980s put the Norwegian archipelago on the map. The sound component of this artwork is a reactivation of one of their songs – a synthetic reconfigured version of lead singer Morten Harket’s vocals for ”The Sun always shines on TV” which accompanies Stapledon’s words about the universe. Both spill into the room/gallery space together. “I reached inside myself through time” sings Harkett, simultaneously containing and contained by Stapledon’s trajectories, which telescope into the distant past and future and alter the time-feel of the space. Harkett’s voice and other recorded sounds evoke the dry-docks, tunnels and sports halls of Lofoten’s workdays and childhoods. The LCD screen and sound are approached through a passageway constructed from plasterboard. This is one of McNulty’s most significant and complex works to date with a strong aesthetic that marks it as a key acquisition for the national collection of contemporary art at IMMA.
