For the installation, celebrating the 10th annual mt Factory Tour organized by Japanese masking tape brand “mt”, Emmanuelle Moureaux used the brand’s 15mm-wide masking tape to create an impressive art installation composed of 100 different shades of colors. Moureaux used 6,000 ​thin ​lines of masking tapes, which were regularly layered vertically and diagonally​ to create a rhythmical immersive colorful space.​​ As visitors walk through a tunnel within the installation, the colors and lines overlap and change depending on the viewing angle, resulting in a beautiful rainbow moiré of various expressions.
