Gazing into the mist in Green, Yellow, Pink is an experience with contrasting effects. It appears to abolish all spatial and temporal markers and the forces specific to a given context. At the same time, however, the installation seems to impart a sense of materiality and tactility to light itself. The experience provokes different reactions: some find it exhilarating, while others might experience dizziness or anxiety. By filling closed spaces with a haze of colored artificial mist, Janssens creates situations that confront visitors with their own perception of space, and of themselves within it.
