Also released along with the book is an LP of electronic music by the group “DAMAVAND” formed by Gianluca Ceccarini, Alessandro Ciccarelli and featuring Tetsuroh Konishi.

Tim Ingold honored us with his introduction.

These are his words to summarize the book:

“It takes a while for my eyes to adjust to the achromatic world in which I now find myself. At first, with the gaudy world of co- lours still fresh in my memory, nothing seems real. Everywhere, I think I see phantoms, ghostly reminders of a past I thought I knew. But gradually, as the memory begins to fade, it dawns on me that all the while, in that old world, it was I who had been deceived – not, as science would have it, by mistaking what was in fact a picture in my mind for the world itself, but more funda- mentally, into thinking that a world of objects already exists ‘out there’ for me, as a knowing subject, to perceive and interpret. For in the new reality in which I am now immersed, mind and world are one.” ( from presentation by Tim Ingold)

We are always on the edge of a world in which the colors of reality and the b/w reality of the mind alternate. This creates a continuous connection between correspondences of a very different nature. Thus music and sounds increase the possibilities of interrelationships.
