"The source imagery is a freeze-frame captured from a video clip recorded inside the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate, Kent (UK)."
This massive installation was recreated across two walls of the gallery's Clore Learning Studio as part of a highly publicized exhibition called ARTIST ROOMS: Sol LeWitt.
The exhibition ran from December 3, 2013, to June 8, 2014. Because Sol LeWitt's wall drawings are site-specific installations that are painted over once an exhibition concludes, this backdrop only existed on the walls of the Turner Contemporary during that exact 6-month window in 2013–2014.
Sol LeWitt was a pioneer of Conceptual Art. He famously believed that the "idea becomes a machine that makes the art."
He did not paint his wall drawings himself. Instead, he wrote out precise mathematical and geometric instructions—like a musical score.
A team of local assistants and trained draftsmen followed his specific instructions to physically paint those vibrant, looping, and straight bands of color directly onto the gallery walls.

FOOTNOTE:
Institutional Context & Artwork Provenance: The multi-colored geometric background visible in the source media is a site-specific exhibition of Wall Drawing #1136 by the late American conceptual artist Sol LeWitt (1928–2007). In accordance with the strict licensing protocols of the Sol LeWitt Estate, his wall drawings are non-transferable blueprints or "scores" owned by or licensed to specific foundations, museums, or private estates (such as the ARTIST ROOMS foundation in the UK or major institutional retrospectives in the United States like MASS MoCA and the Hirshhorn Museum). Because these vibrant, hand-painted installations are temporary, site-specific, and completely painted over at the conclusion of an exhibition's designated timeline, the presence of this exact iteration of Wall Drawing #1136 definitively ties the physical origin of this video footage to the ARTIST ROOMS gallery exhibition at the Turner Contemporary (Margate, UK) between December 2013 and June 2014.
