Colour study, Tincture
2021

A site-specific colour study of invisible natural processes. The outcome is a visual research made during hikes in the Appennino’s mountains. Walking by rivers, we collected images of algae. Less abundant water favor completely different communities of algae. Throughout the process, we looked for ways to reproduce the stratification of algae in the water. Using a slow process of tincture over four steps, the motions of the water and the overlay of pigments mixed with river sand and ash, bring the results as a multi-layered tincture that appears as the algae do in the water through the light.
