Light flowing forth from the blackness, from Fludd’s Utriusque Cosmi (1617).
Featured on PDR in the essay Black on Black
Should we consider black a colour, the absence of colour, or a suspension of vision produced by a deprivation of light? Beginning with Robert Fludd's attempt to picture nothingness, Eugene Thacker reflects* on some of the ways in which blackness has been used and thought about through the history of art and philosophical thought.
