The Color of Emotion
with Olga De la Iglesia
2017-2018


By using six specific emotions; Joy, Sadness, Anger, Acceptance, Disgust and Fear, the participants are asked to paint themselves using colour. The emotions are each represented by one colour. Together with the artists and in front of the camera they then explore in words how they understand their emotional identities.

Moses


- “When it comes down to it I do not want to be me. People look at me and see happy funny Moses and I am like yes, cause I do not want them knowing me. I use joy as a camouflage, a lot. The yellow lines show the happy side I want people to see, which isn’t the side that is me. I do not want to be the person I feel like.”
