"defined as an exploratory journey into the sensory experience of reality."- Galerie Micheline Szwajcer
Ann Veronica Janssens is a french artist who began working in the mid-80's, a lot of her work has to do with light infiltrating matter.
Blue, Red and Yellow, 2001 are mist chambers in light rooms. The idea is that when all obstacles are abolished, the viewer is left to question materialism. The installation gives a sensual experience where people become locked in "colored matter." The installation was created by covering the gallery walls in different colored film and letting the room fill with mist; the viewer would then have a different experience depending on his location in relation to the proximity of each color.
Another way she uses light is by having it mimic the infiltrate of liquid. Her sculpture work is mostly composed of aquarium's of different color. Experimenting with the density of liquids and colored oils, creating an elusion that color is floating at the surface.

An artist similar to her is Carlos Cruz-Diez. He is a Venezuelan kinetic artist living in Paris. I have seen his Chromosaturation rooms and they are stimulating and will make you go crazy. Carlos Cruz-Diez uses space by filling each room with a different color to infiltrate and distort the senses.
