Colorfield is a photographic exploration of color, time, and movement. Instead of paint, I use light as the medium: colored beams that are moved across an empty surface in a darkened studio, with the camera capturing everything in one long exposure. The final image does not emerge on the canvas itself, but within the camera – as a visual residue of a performance that remains invisible to the eye.

The title refers to the painting movement in which color was no longer just an illustration, but an experience in itself. In this series, color takes center stage: as space, as rhythm, as breath. Each exposure is the result of concentrated movements – repeated, slowed, varied – with intuition and bodily memory taking the lead over preconceived plans.

Though the process is clearly defined, with fixed parameters of time and space, the final image remains unpredictable. Small shifts lead to surprising interactions between color tones, light intensity, and tempo. The work emerges in a balance between control and surrender – where the unexpected is not avoided, but actively invites.
