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.
