F.14 & Metacolors
Vinko Globokar's F.14 consists of a rhythmic pattern (to be played on any part of the body) which leads to the final gesture of the piece, the suicide.
Pauline Oliveros' Metacolors, originally written for "[…] Musicians Who See and Hear in Color", is an invitation to play colours as emotions, or emotions as colours.
In this fragment I collected 81 video performances of ?Corporel, mainly available on YouTube. Then I cut the videos according to the beginning of F.14 and puzzled them in the frame. Finally, I practised Oliveros' meditation and edited each video according to her list of "emotion-colour" pairings (see here on the side). In some cases it was easy to associate the video with a particular emotion (and therefore a particular colour). In other cases, it was not possible to distinguish one emotion from another, so I decided to leave the videos in their original colours or in black and white.
