Primary Phases

A looping series of red, green and blue wipes traverse the projected image in vertical and horizontal directions. The loop that each projector shows is a different duration however, causing their synchronisation to phase. While the work employs a very formal approach to screen space, perhaps resembling the aesthetics of early abstract film, the patterns of the piece directly influence what’s outside the frame as well: the space between and surrounding the colours – i.e. the wall – is made a part of the work; and the reflected light simultaneously affects the look of the entire space.
