Through No.4

By  Liz West 2021
Through No. 4 a six-metre long triangular corridor of light and colour created for semi-permanent display at MediaCityUK, Salford and commissioned by Quays Culture. The walk-through structure encourages visitors to look at their surroundings in a different light. Making their way inside the multi-coloured corridor through either side of the structure, visitors can see the world around them transformed by saturate colour. The coloured barrier between the outside and inside creates a multi-coloured striped cloak and distortion in an array of different hues and overlaid mixed colours, transforming the usual colourations and appearance of the outside environment.
