abstract:

Chromatic: of or relating to colour or colour phenomena or sensation.

Mirage: an illusory or unattainable image or representation triggered by the imagination or a misinterpretation

Chromatic Mirage is a representation—perhaps a misrepresentation — of an aesthetic revelation. A fleeting delirium triggered by an interpretation — or perhaps a misinterpretation — of a previous artistic experience out of an exhibition somewhere, in a museum somewhere.

(…) when being in the desert
looking out the desert
you just stand and peer out into the world
but there's nothing to be really seen
and the space becomes a video screen
to project your illsuions in one formwhen there's nothing else, but just the stars
you see nothing else, but what you are
it's a mirror for your mind (…)
