Love, fertility and life: this triumvirate of creation is as much associated with the colour red as the triad of transience, consisting of hate, anger and death. No colour epitomises the phases and feelings of our existence in such a diverse way. No wonder then that the colour red is used again and again in film as an aesthetic and narrative device. With the exhibition "RED – A Film Installation in Space" at the Deutsches Filmmuseum in Frankfurt, TMS has created a scenographic monument to the colour. This installation of light, sound and moving images, which are displayed across eleven large screens, allows visitors to dive into the world of their own feelings and associations.

About
Numerous image sequences taken from significant pieces of movie history demonstrate the various ways in which the colour red has been used in film. The changing colour intensity and the sound collage builds to a climax, the "red moment", which bathes the entire room in intense red light. Visitors can go in search of clues themselves and catch glimpses of small film clips projected from the ceiling via white cards. When darkness falls, red light shines from the museum’s windows into the urban space beyond, intriguing passersby on the outside.
