Joakim Udd: Hue Patterns

A large-scale work, which encourages the viewer to interact with the play of hues and shadows.

Hue Patterns is a large-scale site-specific installation highlighting the forms and details of its location. The work emphasizes interesting features in the surroundings and combines them with a visual play.  

 

Constant combined movement of the beams and shapes of light encourage the viewer to embrace and interact together with the play of hues, shapes, and shadows. The work brings viewers together to participate in creating the forms and shapes of colours and illusions which are projected onto the focused surface.
