Bleach is a work consisting of four sheets of colored paper each measuring 70 x 100 cm. The colors are (Snow White), (Granite Grey), (Steel Grey) and (Charcoal Black). Half of each sheet of paper has been exposed to direct sunlight for one month, in a south facing window in Copenhagen from 1 February to 28 February 2011. The exposed half of the paper is dyed by the sun and appears in a slightly lighter tone than the original color.
The work has two primary layers. On one hand it’s like a super primitive photography or photogram – a recording of time and light. The other layer emerges when you hang the bleached papers vertically. An extremely simple figuration is created. It looks like a horizontal line with land or sea in the bottom and a sky above.
