States of mind exhibition visit

This installation visit to Ann Veronica Janssens

yellowbluepink was unlike any other visit I have

taken to an artists exhibition. Ann Veronica

Janssens explores the consciousness of her

audience blinding them with bold colourful fog

that experiments with the audiences typical

conscious experience. effects of the thick

colouring made the room feel never-ending

and had quite a phycological effect on the

audience during my visit. The room was visibly

unclear, visitors were unable to walk around without

stumbling into walls or others and made me personally

feel unnerved and isolated. Therefore, the experience

was very unusual and alien to normal surroundings.

It felt like being in a transitive state or sleep

walking as your primary sense of awareness

is blinded by the density of the fog.

A number of panorama shots taken inside of
the installation depicting the alien surroundings
of the room and the conditions of visibility
that affected the viewers inside.

During periodic times the colour of the fog would change and would also change dependent on where you were standing in the room. As a result this made the viewer feel even more isolated and unhinged as your surroundings would change constantly challenging your sense of direction, sight and even balance.
