Concrete Human
André Clemetsen
The city is colourblind
The city is colourblind and lives outside the entrance of an abandoned woman who never found another love.
Between 1895 and 2022, 132 peer-reviewed articles put colours against emotions, covering 42,266 people in 64 countries. The psychologists Domicelė Jonauskaitė and Christine Mohr brought all 132 together. Light colours went with the good feelings and dark ones with the bad. How light a colour is and how saturated it is count for as much as the hue itself.
