...in 1989 I fulfilled my long-cherished wish. I used all available colours, including black, for the ritual of action painting.
The descent into sacrifice, into the archetypal excess, into death, should be transfigured, should be sublimated. The suffering, the extreme state, should be conveyed in colour, conveyed even more intensely through colour. The shock that the colour red brings must be heightened.
The consciousness-raising return from the lower realms is adorned with colour, the sadomasochistic, excessive acting out is sublimated in the course of the game to the understanding of colour. the return from the realms of the subconscious, from the vegetative state of sleep, of death, brings the light of awareness of rebirth, the resurrection. The colour spectrum is revealed. In addition to the celebration of colour as a substance, there is a reemerging harmony, which has spontaneously intervened in the development process and above all in the working process.
colour is a matter of the brightest wakefulness, the most intense existence.
Rarely does one dream in colour.
COLOUR IS BEING, MOVEMENT …. Hermann Nitsch
