EMOTIONAL PALETTES

AN EMOTIONAL PALETTE IS THE COLOUR VISUALISATION OF A PERSON'S MOOD FLUCTUATIONS. DURING THE RESIDENCY I MOROCCO, 3 PERSONS WERE ASKED TO RECORD THEIR MOODS HOURLY, FOR 8 DAYS. EACH MOOD WAS TRANSLATED IN A COLOUR ACCORDING TO THE EMOTIONAL MORGUE. EACH STICK/KEY REPRESENTS AN HOUR. THE HOURS WERE STAKED VERTICALLY, EACH COLUMN THUS THE RECORD OF A DAY OF EMOTIONAL VARIATIONS. 

EMOTIONAL ORGUE: A FEW SAMPLE MOODS

THE MOOD KEYS BELOW WERE MADE FROM PIGMENT POWDER MIXED WITH WATER. THESE WERE SEALED USING PARAFINE WAX. THE CONTAINERS ARE TRADITIONAL ARAB TEA GLASSES. THESE WERE LABELLED BOTH IN FRENCH AND IN ARAB.
