Negro : Destellos de un no-color

Black symbolizes both lack and excess. It evokes fear, radicalism, but also the pleasurable and triumphant emotion of feeling that the day has ended and darkness has arrived. Thinking about it is a matter of both rigor and sensitivity. Who hasn't experienced the terrifying feeling of groping their way through the night? Alain Badiou explores this primal terror, showing that black is an antithesis, the locus of all oppositions, specifically to light and, more conceptually, to white. But it is also a sign of the beauty of ink on paper, of the mysteries of the cosmos, and of the pain of mourning.
