Zusammenfassung A meditation on the mysteries of color and the fascination they provoke. It uses color to explore further dimensions of what the author calls 'the bodily unconscious' in an age of global warming. Drawing on classic ethnography as well as the work of Benjamin! Burroughs! and Proust! it takes up the notion that color invites the viewer into images.
