In the series “RGB” Wellmer projects typical projector light basic colours - red, green, blue - onto oil paintings. The projection is mapped on the white parts of the picture. Grey and black parts on the painting are visible as a normal painting - native.
Full Description
The additive color mixing of red, green and blue happens in realtime, based on generative code / processing. Over time they change their color from red to green to blue in random speed. This happens so slowly that the eye can’t recognize it when observing the canvas constantly. Only when you look away for a minute and then look back, you will notice the difference. The shifted perspective of the oil painting gets expanded with drifting patterns of color.

Artist Statement
Marcelina Wellmer photographs the architecture of Berlin city, often office buildings or train stations. In reality gray and static, Marcelina Wellmer starts to fold them as soon as they are caught on her computer and starts to put them into color. Wellmer says:“To me it is a lively intervention from a human perspective.”
