BENEATH THE BLACK 2012
Date:
10th of March 2012 - 24th of March 2012
Is black an important color for what it represents, or what it hides?
Some people say that black is no color, while others say that it is all colors in one.
Black – whatever it is – absorbs all shades perfectly and becomes the darkest shade that a human mind can conceive. It is what the eye sees when no other color can reach it. But if each color has a meaning, what does black stand for? Today we have come to associate it with elegance and sophistication, as a color that is always fashionable, but in different times, black has symbolized an entire range of things: from something serious, like moral authority and nobility, to something sinister, like chaos and the occult.
Clearly then, black does not stand for one single concept, but it is always enigmatic. We need to look closer to see whether the shadows of black contain a secret meaning – or whether we need to look beyond the black to see what is being hidden.
