Colour-light-composition artworks

Abstract

Our senses are permanently exposed to a flood of parallel perceptions, which they must handle. This is an individual process and therefore very different from one person to another. Are there sensory relations that are generally valid across cultures? I have developed an art project that aims to provide an answer to this question: Colour-light-compositions [1]. As an artist, I compose with light and colour, and as a result I visualise music and space with it. In this paper, I give a description of an outdoor and an indoor colour-light-composition on the basis of my observations that become the starting point of my evaluation process. The focus is on the kinds of sensual and physical relations that exist, e.g., between weather, architecture and space, the individual (and also synaesthetic) ways of perception and the colour-light-compositions.
