"Colours colonize things. They conquer them and discover them, like a bucket of paint poured over something. Colours colonize things because they inhabit without asking for permission and initially refuse to commit to an equal relationship. As Technicolorlando the figure changes her colour space and enters another time. In the new time, things are no longer modeled after the colours of nature, and colour is free from the places intended for it." (from "Red, She Said", Mareike Bernien/Kerstin Schroedinger, 2011)
