At night I dream of colour.
Some dreams I dream in colour.
My colour dreams I REMEMBER.
—Leon Battista Alberti On Painting (1435)
We were invited to respond to the idea of AMBER, the concept behind and muse of this year's Arnhem Mode Biennale, defined by artistic director JOFF as a "fleeting phenomenon, whose personality is omnipresent in our society and whose influence we can barely escape".
We have taken a library of footage of monochromatic dress drawn from over a hundred films covering a huge variety of forms and genres.
We have built a monumental 12-channel colour-classified installation in the exhibition space of Arnhem Mode Biennale.
Award-winning musician Daniel Pemberton responded to our brief to create a new sound piece that accompanies the installation.
