Through the interplay of light, colour, and the unpredictability of random movement, Rebecca Baumann seeks to elicit a response, activating viewers' emotions in fleeting and unexpected ways. Working across a range of media, including installation, kinetic sculpture, and performance, Baumann has created both immersive, room-filling environments and compelling wall-based artworks that captivate and intrigue.

‘Colour Clock (Variation IV)' is a kinetic sculpture constructed from a battery-powered alarm clock. The artist has replaced the numbered panels representing hours and minutes with coloured cards, which spontaneously flip into new configurations. Baumann explores the emotional associations of colour, reflecting on the creation of this series, "Everything is always about that perfect moment, but really life is just a series of many moments," emphasising the breadth of emotions experienced within a single day.
