Since the tracks in turn will
begin their own journey in space and will create their own paths leaving
imprint traces.Colors and in print traces become visible thanks to their own
ability to manifest, to obey their own logic and necessity; they become
dimension for their own sake. They invite the viewer to observe them.
Wittgenstein in his book
Philosophical Research stater: “What is your purpose in literature? To show the
fly the way out of its trap.(paragraph 309 page 136 to 1977. This expression
could become an analogy to my research on the escape of colors. If we consider
the colors as flies and the space and the objects in which they are found as
traps, then we will come to the following conclusion: the colors feel trapped
and have the need to be released to go out in space to travel and leave their
traces everywhere.
Through the process of the
source the colors are personified, they come to life, and they act, they are
potentially brought to power, that is, power to happen like existing beings who
feel, get and make decisions. More instinctively. The color becomes
active through its own inner strength and not through human strength. Because
Matisse says “color is self – existence has its own beauty, and I was able to
accept it because of his emotional power “(Henri Matisse writings and sayings
about art text. The course of color page 203).
Every color has energy trapped
inside, which is released and released from the moment escape to space and
begin. The form of energy is dynamic and then turns into kinetic because colors
start from a state of inertia colors start from a state of inertia and then
turn into a state of motion.
Decides to utilize the
accumulated energy in ham in its core.During its movement in space color
enquires audiovisual properties. Produces forms and sounds. Each form is
different schematically and each sound has a different frequency. The way of
movement of each form obeys the rhythm of the sound it produces but vice versa.
The rhythm of each sound obeys the kind of form of color that accompanies it.
Is an interconnected sequence. Sound,form, and color interact with each other.
The combination of sound and color acquires a substance in their
movement.
