Memories Shifting Value
Colour as a statement in itself can become experienceable through the
use of a monochrome surface, removed from corporeality. The surface is
reduced to a square to emphasize on colour. To avoid outside influences
from wall and background colours, daylight, etc., the room has to be
completely darkened. This means that you have to produce colour through
light - through projection. The colour square is hovering over coloured
light to increase effects and contrast and to illustrate spatial
appearance through colour. Through variation of the light intensity the
saturation can be changed, which intensifies or lessens contrast and
changes the spatial appearance of the colour square. While the
saturation of the colour behind the square is being increased to the
maximum, the saturation of the colour of the square is being reduced.
In this way the spatial appearance changes. Maximum saturation causes
the square to seemingly float in space, low saturation seemingly causes
a depression. Timing plays an important role. The spectator experiences
pulsations of colour and space. A.M.
