# Colorful Temporal Exhibits 'Colour of Time' Consists of 120,000 Paper Cut-Outs By Joey Haar | Published 2018-01-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colour-of-time References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2018/01/17/emmanuelle-moureaux-colour-of-time-installation-changes-colour-over-time-design-tokyo/) 'Colour of Time', an installation by artist Emmanuelle Moureaux, is designed to depict the passage of time over the course of a day. Currently touring at the Toyama Prefecture Museum of Art and Design, it uses 120,000 [paper cut-outs hung from the ceiling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suspended-lighting-installation) of the grand exhibition room as indices for both the traditional, numerical recording of time as well as the more emotional associations between color and time. The paper cut-outs are shaped like numbers, and those numbers are organized into 100 rows. Each row is meant to represent a different time of day, from sunrise at 6:30 AM to sunset at 7:49 PM. Not only do the rows display those times numerically, but each row is a different hue, ranging from bright white, red, and orange in the morning area to cool blues and black in the evening. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive Installations:** Exploring the use of immersive exhibits that engage viewers on multiple sensory levels. - **Emotional Design:** Creating experiences that evoke emotional responses through the use of color and visual elements. - **Integration of Art and Technology:** Blending traditional artistic techniques with technological advancements to create innovative installations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Exhibitions:** Opportunities for artists and curators to showcase immersive and visually striking installations that captivate visitors. - **Museum and Cultural Institutions:** Potential for museums and cultural institutions to incorporate interactive exhibits that offer unique and memorable experiences for visitors. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating elements of emotional design and interactive installations into interior spaces to create visually stimulating environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intricate Site-Specific Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time.md) - [Climate Change-Informed Cloth Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloth-calendar.md) - [Kumiko Craft Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timevase.md) - [Colorful Texture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation.md) - [Flowing Light Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crydal-scroll-clock.md) - [Gradient Art Installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-25.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md)
