The Chromosaturation (1965) is an artificial environment composed of three colored chambers, one blue, one red and one green that immerse the visitor in a completely monochrome situation. This experience creates disturbances in the retina, accustomed to receive a wide range of colors simultaneously.
The Chromosaturation can act as a trigger, activating in the viewer the notion of color as a material or physical situation, going into space without the aid of any form or even without any support, regardless of cultural beliefs. This work relates to the idea that in the origin of every culture lies a primary event as a starting point. A simple situation that generates a whole system of thoughts, sensitivity, myths, etc.
