Chromophobia is such an unusual disease when a person is afraid of any color or painted objects, color phobia. This disease is relatively rare. Unless, of course, you have not visited the personal exhibition of the Chinese artist Li Hui. It deliberately causes people to fear color.
In any case, he is sure that his colored installations do exactly that - they frighten people with a combination of color and form. This is what Li Hui's series of works titled "Who's afraid of Red, Amber and Green" is dedicated to. It is exhibited at the Kunstlicht in de Kunst Museum in Eindhoven, Holland.
In Li Hui's installations, we can see a skeleton car erupting like a volcano, a bed and other completely unusual images. Light plays the main role in them. And this light, according to the author's idea, in combination with the form, should frighten.
It is difficult to tell from the pictures whether people who see these installations really panic. Most likely no. There are too many terrible things happening in the real world for people to suddenly get scared by the glowing red bed.
And is it necessary in a complex, stressful world to artificially inoculate people with another phobia? There is something to think about.
