Product Description

This booklet reflects upon the notion that we can understand our experiences in the world subjectively, while intuitively believing we experience it objectively. This feeling is the point of departure in writing the text ”Why Is Green A Red Word” along my research process into the phenomenon of synesthesia and my attempts to make art out of it. I found myself being mostly fascinated by how language failed or succeeded in describing the sensations, and how an imaginary space can be created in order to relate to people´s stories. Therefore the text takes you in and out of discussions about perceptions of language, translation and art making including unsatisfied attempts to illustrate or materialize what happens before the minds eye.
