The Blue Series is a multi media and ongoing project that deals with the social and political meaning of color blue through the history of its migrated pigment and the symbolic presence that the color has in today’s political landscape of Germany. The production of blue has been not only simbolically engaged with defining power structure and class. Also, it has been at the centre of conflicts and shaped economies and overseas trade. Blue still remains representing the bright side of politics: democracy, union and pact, but nowadays is endangered as well, by the “ownership” of the right wing party AFD. The Blue Series unfolds a series of comments and exercises that take as departure point the Blaues Archiv from the AFD.

Using installation and video as main media, the work brings to surface dialogues between meaning, displacement, colonialism, appropriation, and re-appropriation.
