Barricade to Blue

Rita Myers
1977, 6:15 min, color, sound, three-channel installation

Description

In Barricade to Blue, Myers creates a metaphorical landscape with television monitors, flooding two congruent spaces with blue light. Depicting a transition from mundane reality to a mystical plane, she uses the blue light to evoke associations with "the aroused blue of sexuality...the blue of cold and dying...the transitional blues of the body passing into a state of bliss."
