The dominance of all-over is reduced. On the one hand through compression, points of emphasis and directional tendencies to which the colour and brightness values are subordinated. On the other hand through singular figurations that are inscribed into the surface of the image. These figurations are derived from the framework contours of the past year, which no longer exclusively occupy the image boundaries but now reach into the interior as oriented trails. Just like the previous frame elements, these figurations remain independent of the net structure of the image. The all-over of the net structure continues to ensure the consistency of the body of the image. The figurations, by contrast, on another imaginary plane of the visual activity, create places and boundaries, and thus a tendency to topography.
The net structures as bearers of colour appear in four different forms. Firstly, a system of colour trails that forms a web with slight bends. Secondly, a fragmentation of the colour trails that generates an illusionistic relief character. Thirdly, a sequence of colour trails that displays no parallel borders but divergences that lead the “colour streams” to swell and diminish. Fourthly, splaying of the colour trails, which open up enclosed surface figures as colour loci.
