Visible - Invisible

The starting point is a pigment that carries no colour of its own. Iridescent by nature, it exists in transparency — and becomes visible only where light refracts with sufficient intensity. Printed onto transparent Cromatico paper, this property can be tuned with precision: full saturation on black, complete invisibility on white.

What appears to be a print technique is in fact a study in perception. The viewer encounters something saturated, vivid, present — and then watches it disappear. The background does the work. The pigment simply obeys.

This is the magic Boegli describes: not a trick, but a material truth, made legible through decades of research into the fundamental properties of paper and pigment. By working backwards through the chain of graphic design, starting from the substance itself, he arrives at effects that have never been seen in print before — and that remain, for now, difficult to replicate.
