British artist and color devotee Liz West<\/a> has transformed a single floor of a typical concrete structure into an immersive chromatic environment fit for skating, dancing, and basking in a rainbow glow.<\/p>\n To create \u201cOur Colour,\u201d West covered hundreds of existing lights in the Cabot Circus Car Park with pigmented theatre gels. Without its usual traffic, the space instead becomes an open canvas for the artist\u2019s interest in experiencing color<\/a> in a more direct and physical way. <\/p>\n \u201cDoes colour change the way you feel? What does it feel like to be inside a rainbow? I was to invite visitors to drench themselves in the spectrum and allow them to question their individual perception of colour,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n The temporary installation is part of the Bristol Light Festival<\/a>, which runs through February 28.
