About
The synaesthetics of space in relation to the body explored through color.
Emily Scarrott is a fine artist with synaesthesia.
She perceives the world through color and develops a language that helps her understand the way she process’ color in her environment.
Hannah Taylor is a performance artist who is compelled to explore the body in relation to space and how trauma can become personified by our movements and repetitions.
We are looking at colour theory within architecture and how through the use of colour to restrain or free the body in a space, provokes a transient interpretation of the body by how it relates and is used in the space.
We are creating a transient space through the use of colour across the walls, floors and performers body.
With Synaesthesia, you respond to your entire environment through your personal understanding of colour in relation to your space. Emily’s work as an artist is to control , restrict or release frustration through her creation of lines and shapes with colour that normally are separated from the physical flesh.
We are extending that into a space that will be effected by a body that in turn provokes movement from the audience dependant and in response to how the space has been changed through colour.
You are forced to evaluate where you feel comfortable in the space and move with or against the colour.
It is a physically manifested and exaggerated experience of how a Synesthetic will have to assess and respond to their environment.
Their perception is an internal processing of what immersive performers try to recreate through synesthetic visceral performance.
By introducing a moveable body into the space that is constantly changing, an understanding of how you relate your body to colour in space will manifest and force kinaesthetic responses to architecture as the body starts to transform into a part of it.
For Emily, it will provide a space where she can question, play and therefore understand how her internal mental processing of colour comfortably or uncomfortably then manifests into the physical, the flesh.
Warning; there is nudity and paint.
