Thanks for your questions and interest. This color field construction is nine shots of walls, windows, and sidewalks. The illusion of transparency is constructed from opaque colors, so there is no photomontage here--no colors are overlaid on each other. Josef Albers's Interaction of Color and Johannes Itten's The Art of Color are good references on the interplay of color, as I have mentioned before. Both are Bauhaus boys. Color field painting started with Malevich and his "Black Square" in 1913, for the most part, and this lauched abstract expressionism that innovated the art of "objectlessness," as Malevich called it, which became the hub of painting by Pollock, De Kooning, Newman, Still, McLaughlin, Rothko, and others. For my color studies with color being the object of the photograph, I start with shooting color and texture as the main focus. I don't start necessarily with a "point of departure" that Ralph Gibson learned from Dorothea Lange; I am more concerned with a "point of arrival." This is to say, I have my colors--sort of like colors on a painter's palette--colors that are like sensory triggers that in "Albers's interaction" with one another, I arrange having a metaphoric idea in mind, something abstract like the notion of "erasure," which I have used in the past. The study then improvises colors as a visual language, usually keeping textual language out of the game. For a series I did on "barriers," I was interested in trying to construct colors, like that of corten steel, rusting, immoveable, into some visual vernacular that suggested associations of the feeling and concept of "barrier." Of course, I keep coming back to the words and the context of words in their abstract--for barrier, associations with obstacle, protection, preservation, paranoia, threat, safety, insulation, and so forth--so there's the challenge of "not thinking about the polar bear, and yet the only thing you think about is the cursed thing that comes to mind every minute," so aptly recorded by Dostoyevsky.

Once I have my color field photographs, it's a simple Lightroom 6 process of cutting and pasting. Sometimes, it's simply arranging disconnected images into a two-dimensional geography on the page where they speak to one another. Our need for narrative fills the gaps between the images so that seemingly random order becomes meaningful.

Posted here are some edited examples of transparency color field studies.

Thank your Rog for this "making of"-explanation. Very helpful--and it does not interfere with the visual pleasure.

Canceling the fiction of a photograph, the lifeguard chair and sky reflection, yet creating another fiction with caution zone stripes. Is this an anti-photograph?

anti-photograph ? No, this is photography next level !

Oh, yes, definitely a Wagnerian theatricality to it, very proscenium-like and the palette is very leaning toward the catastrophic. I mean, if I were going to paint catastrophe, I would lean toward these colors, think about Meidner, Dix, and those cadmium reds in league with George Grosz. See, I can't even get past WWI, so we cue up the repeatability soundtrack that is history's theme song, even though Coppola invoked Wagner as a prelude for "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." Is there a Broadway musical wafting in the winds? Back to "Shadow Yellow," the sense of the displaced proscenium--with our photographs, we call it framing?--plays against the absence of proscenium with the diptych on the right. And, that cadmium yellow, sunrise or sunset?, definitely the drum beat of something other than the seductive Dead Sea-like lighting that Adam is so adept at conjuring. Still, so cool of you to invoke Wagner. Cheers, Rog.

Very nice, Christoph! 

BTW: This church-wedged into the row of shops and department stores- is really worthwhile a minute or two if you are in Munich. On a busy hot summer day a cool place to have a short break too. // If you have a close look at the "Death" on the right, cutting the thread of life, you find a lot of detail that a sculptor hardly would have managed. This is a guilded skeleton.  But don't let me discourage you from sitting down an enjoying the place ☺️.
