About the book

Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. In one common form of synesthesia for instance letters or numbers are perceived as inherently colored. People who report a lifelong history of such experiences are known as synesthetes. 00'Layers of Reality' is both a personal and a semi-scientific research into synesthesia. Anna Püschel, a synesthete herself, experiences colours when looking at images. With this research she questions her conception of reality. Using a large database of images she investigates the origin, consistency and subjectivity of her synesthesia, in an attempt to answer the question: "Am I mad?"
