A pioneer in colour theory, Carlos Cruz-Diez is a major figure of optical and kinetic art. His work uses the purity of colour to modify how we perceive our surroundings and our awareness of reality. In Chromosaturation pour une allée publique, the visitor is immersed in a pavilion composed of three spaces of complementary colours: red, blue, and green. The resulting effects of chromatic saturation stimulate and perturb our senses as we visit the different parts of the artwork.
