Room for One Cooler
Huge space with lamps mounted to the ceiling of a white room emit a single wavelength of yellow light
In the installation, Room for one colour (1997), the entire space is bathed in light from mono-frequency lamps that emit light of around 589 nanometres in wavelength, in the yellow region of the visible spectrum. At first you see only a saturated yellow light that makes all colours appear to be shades of yellow, grey and black. Once you become comfortable with this situation, with the degree of abstraction it entails, you can start to pay attention to what is actually happening with your vision as such.

What is surprising, refreshing, most interesting?
It is a very clear example of how the brain adjusts the colour of known objects to make them appear the same colour in radically different lighting conditions

If our perceptive apparatus were altered, the world would appear different to us.
