Spectrum of light. Exposure to colour is a series of sensual interactive settings in the space of the Self-service Museum, accompanied by an educational programme.

As part of the several-year series, we explore the qualities of the successive colours of the visible light spectrum. Each colour is characterised by a different frequency and energy, which we experience through our presence in the interactive setting. We invite everyone, regardless of age, to play freely and intuitively.

The interactive setting Exposure to colour. Green is a space for experiencing this colour in an experimental way. It consists of interactive zones which you can spontaneously explore to experience the colour through your senses. Immersion in greenness is an invitation to slow down, relax and gently adjust your nervous system. Feel the soft, soothing surroundings that will tenderly envelop your body, breathe easily and gently release emotions.

Ocean of love

Sink your gaze into the green shades of the landscape and feel a part of it. The ocean of love has no shore. You are part of a divine creation that looks at you every day. Be aware of it and look back at reality with tenderness. Then adopt a creator's perspective, play with the moving images and freely shape the greenness around you.

Close to the heart

Mother Earth loves all creation. Follow the tender cord of the liana with your touch. At its end you will find a vulnerable being. Press it to your heart. Think of it as an invitation to connect with your inner child. Hug yourself.

Embrace yourself

A child embraced by mother feels inner peace and blissful oneness with her. Re-enter this state by allowing yourself to be embraced by the moss and covering yourself with the heavy hand. Relax and feel the soothing weight and unconditional acceptance. Remember: you are wanted and you are accepted.

Thender whispers

Can you notice when words are full of love? The way we express ourselves is important. Regardless of the content, every sentence has its own vibration. When a message is coming from the heart, we react by relaxing. Surrender to the tenderness that comes from the warm words.

In unity

Air is an element that brings us all together. Listen to the meditation. Did you know that breathing has the power to instantly regulate the nervous system? Observe the changes in the way you breathe when feeling different emotions. Immerse yourself in them with slow, deep breathing and allow them to flow freely through you. We all feel in a similar way and need soothing in equal measure.
