The colour Effect in cinema - Time feelings through colours

This study is about experiencing time through the colour effect. It focuses on building an approach in movement between cinema and contemporary art in projection rooms. To define the relation between works such as experimental films, performances and installations, as we will discuss in this document, we need to be connected with the idea of « conceptual cinema. » It is made by different aesthetic and temporal expressions, which focuses on colour. This colour that comes out of the holes in the wall or from flashlights on the screen creates a vibrant movement made by its projection and its reverberation into the room. In this room, the audience has an experience where time and consciousness seem to expand. My main target in this text is to expose an aesthetic reflection about colour and time. These concepts access multi disciplinarily theories that are necessary to broaden and deepen our analysis. Thus, it was essential to analyse the method and to mix theories of Art and cinema, using an aesthetic, phenomenology and philosophical – continuous Duration and discontinuous Instants – viewpoint proposed by Henri Bergson and Gaston Bachelard.
