Orange Oranges is a metal structure framing panels of orange photographic filter in variable dimensions. Its roof and walls consist of orange photographic filter. Inside, accessible to the public, there are several stools, a table, glasses, knives, mechanical juicers, fresh oranges and a bucket to dispose of the rinds. Viewers can enter the cabin, squeeze a juice and drink while watching everything around them dyed in deep orange. For the spectator who is outside of the cabin, people inside seem to be part of the work, while for the viewers inside everything that surrounds them may appear distant as well. Because of the physiological effects on human vision, viewers leaving the cabin will perceive the outside dyed in a bright electric blue.
