COLORAMA OR LONELINESS IN THE CROWD

‘Colorama or Loneliness in the crowd’ takes the form of a wall in a checked pattern of colours, manifesting itself just as well on a tiled wall as on the screen of a smartphone.

The wall perceives the spectator when she approaches it. The coloured squares then begin to ‘vibrate’ in the zone situated in front of the spectator, and a new square appears. This square knocks into the others; each square attempts to find its own place, and the supernumerary square disappears from the wall. The artwork asks the spectator what ‘finding your place in society’ really means: from the ‘spectacular’ event of arrival, through the difficulties of integration and the recomposition that it entails, towards the fact of merging, finally, with the crowd.
