Barragán | Entrance Sequence: Transition from Dark to Light, Narrow to Wide

Luis Barragán | Entrance Sequence: Transition from Dark to Light, Narrow to Wide
After pushing open an unassuming wooden door from the street, one enters a narrow, low, almost unlit corridor. The walls are painted a rich yellow, and the only light comes from a row of narrow openings high up on the side, casting yellow reflected light throughout the passage, dyeing people yellow as they walk through. The corridor turns at the end, suddenly opening into a bright courtyard with a pool, where colors shift to magenta and blue. The power of this entire sequence comes from the order of "compression, monochrome, turn, release," rather than any single object. The plastered walls have a distinct handmade feel. Photographed in the longitudinal direction of the interior, with yellow light gradient on the walls. Avoid: widening or heightening the corridor, directly seeing the end, juxtaposing multiple colors, directly visible light source.

從街道推開一扇不起眼的木門後,進入一條狹窄、低矮、幾乎沒有光的走廊,牆漆成濃郁的黃色,唯一的光來自側面高處一排細窄的開口,把黃色的反射光打滿整條通道,人走過時身上也被染成黃色。走廊在盡頭轉折,突然開向一個明亮的中庭與水池,顏色轉為洋紅與藍。整段序列的力量來自「壓縮、單色、轉折、釋放」的順序,而不是任何單一的物件。抹灰牆面手工感明顯。室內縱深方向拍攝,黃色的光在牆上漸層。避免:走廊加寬或挑高、直接看見盡頭、多種顏色並置、光源直接可見。
