Resistance Colour
Installation, 2012
‘Each political group consciousness has its own colour.’ — K. Malevich
Throughout the world, political parties associate themselves with certain colours: blue, white, red, yellow, orange, purple, green, black... All of them are not random.
In this work, pictures from the protests and campaigns of political demonstrations have been cleaned – slogans, logos and any other political symbols are removed.
Resistance Colour explores the psychological visual markers of political advertising and tracks how the colour environment influences the formation of the emotional state of the audience in the process of mass political communication.
