Green to Blue: this is just to say departs from the assumption that colour functions as universal, stable information. The exhibition is grounded in a non-essentialist understanding of colour: there is no universal “Green” or “Blue”, no fixed essence or core meaning that can be shared across bodies, cultures, or contexts. Instead, the exhibition approaches colour as an even, one that unfolds through the interaction of language, neurological processes, memory, and sensation.
At the ambiguous threshold where Green and Blue converge, colour is understood not as a fixed category but as a fluid process, interpreted differently by each viewer. On the visible spectrum, Green and Blue sit in close proximity, often dissolving into one another. What appears linguistically distinct becomes perceptually unstable. In some cultures, these colours are contained within a single term; in sensory experience, they may register as shifts in depth, atmosphere, or emotional tone. This in-between zone exposes the elasticity of perception and the layered nature of cognition. The exhibition translates these subtle discrepancies into a spatial experience, allowing colour to unfold through movement, duration, and relational viewing.
As viewers navigate the space, colour responds to individual contexts such as cultural background, emotional state, and memory, lingering between Green and Blue rather than resolving into either. Colour is not presented as a static object of contemplation, but as a mediating force that is continually reconfigured through the act of looking.
Through the artists’ subjective translations of the chromatic spectrum, Green to Blue resists singular meaning and invites active perceptual engagement. What the viewer encounters is not a definitive colour, but the fragile and provisional process through which colour becomes perceptible at all.
