Prismes

Saturation and inversion

Prisms explores intense stimulation, based on a rhythmic progression.

Rapid and complex variations in colour and form demand a state of constant, alert attention.

Gradually, this dynamic intensifies and converges towards a centre. The visuals evoke matrix structures, neural networks, or even stylised cerebral architecture. The rapid juxtaposition of contrasting images and colours produces a sweeping effect in which familiar visual cues are constantly being重组.

The luminous and rhythmic flows create sensory saturation, which can be experienced as a momentary erasure of familiar reference points.

The experience thus explores the interactions between vision, sensation and the state of consciousness, where the latter manifests itself through excess, accumulation and density.

The series includes, in particular, *Prisms Red* and *Prisms Green*. These two works share a similar structure, based on a principle of inversion. They are distinguished by a chromatic inversion of positive and negative: one features green forms against a red background, whilst the other adopts a similar composition but inverts the colours, presenting red against a green background.

This inverted relationship, based on contrast, introduces a logic of reading and counter-reading. Experienced in succession, these two works initiate a specific movement, where the visual representation of an experience finds its echo in its inverted rewriting.

This interplay of symmetry, saturation and inversion constitutes one of the major themes of the research. It opens up a broader reflection on the way in which perception is structured through contrast, memory and inverted repetition.

In this setup, a phase of intense visual stimulation may be followed by a perceptual release, extending the experience into a more internal register, where light continues to act beyond direct gaze.

Through the intensity of its visual and rhythmic stimuli, this installation also acts on less conscious levels of experience, fostering a state of subconscious receptivity. Saturation and repetition can thus facilitate the emergence of images, sensations or associations that are not immediately under our control, whilst hinting at the possibility of imbuing them with intention.

The experience is then no longer limited to perceptual reception: it becomes a potential space for inner engagement, where the viewer can consciously direct their attention towards deeper content. In some cases, this visual saturation extends into the afterimage phase with eyes closed, through an inner persistence of forms and rhythms, perceptible as a shift to another register.
