This is an idea for an interactive art installation where both the spectators and the performers participate through observation and creation, respectively. It consists of a booth, like a darkroom used for developing photographs, with a counter has four colors which render as black to the subject in the saturated red light from overhead. The subject uses these four colors to paint a blank canvas in front of him/her. In the end, the piece is given back to the subject – for them to validate against their imagination. There are one way glass windows on the sides of the canvas through which the spectators on the outside can look inside this booth but only see the canvas’ reflection on the wall behind the performer (not shown in the image).
This piece seeks to initiate conversations and thoughts about the subjectivity of vision, our perception of colors, reality and light.
