Impossible Colors (2016)

Impossible Colors

Reddish-Green and Yellowish-Blue are known as impossible colors or forbidden colors. Set side by side, it is said that the human eye could not see them, that their light frequencies would cancel each other, rendering them invisible. Researchers say that they can be seen if one looks ‘the right way’.

The boundaries between colors are akin to those between logic and dreams, they too can produce an impossible meaning if we mix them.
