CHROMAS 1984-1988

unlike his previous work in which Zajec developed the visual composition autonomously, the Chromas videos are based on the four parts of Seconda Sonata, a composition for piano by the Italian composer Giampaolo Coral. After almost 16 years of working in monochrome or with a very limited palette, for the first time, Chromas displays a full, 256 color palette. The action in Chromas consists of color motives, fluidly dissolving into their constituent components and reappearing in different configurations.
