2014年夏季，东京工作室Emmanuelle Moureaux在新宿中央公园安装了一片全色彩艺术装置，该装置共使用到分别染上100种色彩的织物。这些手工染制织物随风而荡，在摩天大楼林立的新宿，在这个不一样的夏天，给人们带来了非凡的景象，飘逸的光影还有远离现实的想象空间。

设计师Emmanuelle Moureaux十分偏爱在设计中运用各种明快活泼的色彩，以前gooood曾分享过他的作品：以彩虹千层派为主题的巢鸭信用银行Sugamo Shinkin Bank。

Emmanuelle Moureaux这么缤纷的设计灵感来自东京，他坦言自己在第一次到达东京的时候就被街上满满的色彩迷住，当时，他决心搬到东京。在后来，他做到了，并通过自己的创作，在东京深不可度的复杂空间中用色彩创造奇迹，将色彩之美淋漓尽致的挥发。而今这个绚丽的装置，依旧坚持了他的初衷，并让参与的人们找寻到属于自己的色彩。

As a first outdoor installation, Emmanuelle has transformed the space in Shinjuku Central Park in Tokyo using full spectrum of floating colors. Having high rise buildings in the background, the 100 colored strands dance in the breeze, as if they are breathing in and out, creating a dynamic motion. This is the 2nd exhibition of the ‘100 colors’ series, which she plans to exhibit in different cities around the world.

“When I first arrived in Tokyo,
I was fully fascinated by the colors overflowing on the street.
In that very moment, my mind decided to move to Japan.
Overwhelming number of store signs, flying electrical cables,
and flashes of blue sky framed by various volumes of buildings,
created three dimensional “layers” in the city.
The flood of various colors pervaded the street
built up a complex depth and intensity in the space.
These indelible experiences of colors and layers in Tokyo
were the inspiration and essence of my design concept of “shikiri”,
which means dividing (creating) space with colors.
Valuing the emotion inspired from Tokyo,
I want to show the beauty of colors to the fullest extent.
I also wish to share the feeling of being surrounded by overflowing colors
by exhibiting 100 colors, here in the middle of Tokyo.
Please come and find your favorite color. ”

In 2013, the first ‘100 colors’ installed specially selected papers to create a floating volume of colors. For this year, textile was chosen as a medium to catch the breeze seaming through the skyscrapers of Shinjuku. The dye compounds were carefully blended to create the unique 100 colors formula, and 1875 strands of textile were hand-dyed one by one. 100 colors are floating and swaying in the wind, coloring the breeze travelling in the city, casting gentle shadows in the summer days of Tokyo. Colors are layered with the high rise buildings, creating an extraordinary scene, attracting eyes of people walking by.

Floating colors in the sky of Shinjuku is a breathtaking installation that has given people a little moment to stop by, away from the busy reality.
