Through my own perception of walking in the installation:

 

Walking into the coloured mist, I found a borderless experience in, both, the bodily and the mind. The mist invades the whole space giving no edges and no corners. There is no line, no dot, no element, no vertical, and neither horizon. Imagine if this was black and white mist; it could have drawn me into a momentum between randomness and restriction. The randomness is by no direction, and the restriction of being afraid of getting lost. Yet colour and light help diluting that momentum. Colours brought feelings and life. If I could see this installation as painting, I would say it is as if I walked inside a Rothko’s painting or into Turner’s sky.

 

Robert Rosenblum states, in his book – Modern Painting and the Northern Romantic Tradition, that Rothko evolved the archetypal statement of his abstract painting -- those hovering tiers of dense, atmospheric colour or darkness --from a landscape imagery of mythic, cosmological character; but he was also attracted to what he was later to describe as “ … pictures of a single human figure – alone in a moment of utter immobility,” a description that, tellingly, could apply to many paintings by Friedrich himself.

 

If placing Rothko’s paintings in parallel to the same tradition as Caspar David Frederic’s, for example The Monk by the Sea, we might be placed in the position of the monk looking into Rothko’s sublime. And I have found that this is, as well, a parallel experience of my perception to Ann Veronica’s coloured-mist space. The difference is there were other inspectors walking in the room. I was not the only one in the scene like Friedrich’s Monk, or the woman in Woman before the Rising Sun.

 

Unlike painting, Yellowbluepink puts viewer into a real experience. I have found it’s interesting that the installation doesn’t only allow one to examine self-perception. In the space, every individual’s observation interweaved the whole happening. In the mist, the viewers naturally wander in a slow pace. Their slow movements, from the different distance, create various opacities of figurative silhouettes. It gives an experience of revealing and concealing in an unknown deceptive place. And, in my view, it reminds that we live intertwined in the society.
