This installation captures colours of the South African skies – dawn, dusk and sunsets, and is inspired by the iridescent light of our cities and landscapes, which is sometimes heightened by the chemical compounds in our cities’ mining soils. The artists worked with the same pigment compounds (copper, aluminium, cobalt, ferrous) to create instances of South African skies – a snapshot of light conditions at different times of the day.

Counterspace was founded by Vally, Sarah de Villiers and Amina Kaskar in 2014. The studio works at the intersection of research, architecture and urban concepts, aiming to highlight contemporary spatial narratives, especially in its home city.
