Description

Synaesthesia, literally which means “union of the senses,” is a neurological phenomenon by which stimulation of one sense produces an impression in a second sense. Synaesthetes may taste the words they pronounce, see colors when taking note of music or smell the voices of people around them. Some five percent of the population is estimated to experience some type of synaesthetic reaction.

Layers of Reality is both a personal and a semi-scientific research study of the phenomenon of synaesthesia. On this volume, German photographer Anna Püschel, a synaesthete herself, questions her perception of reality. For this publication, she works through a big image database, testing and cataloguing her synaesthetic reactions. What emerges from Püschel’s investigation is an interesting personal try to be aware how we perceive and construct reality.
