The pastel-colored surface of an image changes imperceptibly. Barely noticeably, in finely gradated hues of green, red and blue, the parts of the image flow back and forth like gossamer clouds of color. In the gentle flickering of bright colors, the spheres can be barely distinguished from one another. Suddenly, however, a contrast appears – like something physical emerging from the seemingly heavenly range of light. We immediately feel the threatening effect of darker colors without whose contrast no depth, no contours, essentially nothing could arise for the eye to evaluate. Even before it becomes clear what we are looking at, the image dissolves again. In this way, the picture becomes a powerful meditation on the essence of surface and figure, ground and form, contours and color.
