Total Space: Landscape is a Composition 2020

Drawing inspiration from the theories of the Italian Renaissance painter and polymath Leon Battista Alberti, Total Space: Landscape is a Composition, applies Alberti’s observations on color and perspective in an ever-changing, immersive space. Two pigments used in Painting that bear the geographical names – Naples yellow and Prussian blue – were applied to the high walls of the space in precise geometric patterns and illuminated with color-changing LED lighting. Combining the two colors with light generates a harmonious and almost meditative effect that alternately defines or blurs our perception of space.
