↓ Colour Traps
Similar to bug traps, which employ the effect of a certain colour to lure in insects, I created constructions with the purpose to entrap a specific colour in a place. I started inventing images that express the conditions in which a colour would prefer to occur - rather than showing it, the images are evoking an idea of it. The series of photographs is accompanied by a one-page publication that contains images of the 6 different traps and 6 short texts accompanying each image, quotes about very different understanding of colour. Those 6 conflicting approaches are so different, they eventually suggest a scenario in which colour can be seen as a metaphysical phenomenon.
