The Pink Room Has No Walls2025

The Pink Room Has No Walls (2025) by Anne Katrine Senstad is a documentary on Senstad's monochromatic site-specific spatial neon light sculpture environment set in a vernacular, historic building on the Lower East Side in New York over three months in 2025, with a sound environment by acclaimed composer JG Thirlwell.

The neon installation, can be entered through the conceptual, structural, and perceptual, – a site specific, spatially transformative light sculpture. The art work invites the viewer to encounter inner mechanics of sensory experience, electricity and noble gases, the nature of our physiology, and the phenomena of an illusionary space of vertical topology. Here, in this room, the novelty of saturated monochromatic pink is experienced as a transformed domestic habitat, now defined by suspended lines in space that alters the concept of the personal, lived chamber, through spectrums of light, sound, and color.

With this work, the artist returns to the color pink in reincarnated form. The artist has a long relationship with the color. Pink was the subject of her 2 city solo exhibition Light Writes Always in Plural,(2007), respectively Houston and New York, and is a reoccurring ingredient of her numerous site-specific and land art works such as The Sugarcane Labyrinth (2011). The title The Pink Room Has No Walls, stems from one of 8 neon text works in English and Chinese, from her solo exhibition Light Words White Neon, at Zendai MoMa, Shanghai, (2008), which contextualized the public realm and the autonomous freedom of mind, through the poetry of light and words.
