I Don't See Colour

In Não vejo cor [I Don’t See Colour], Odair Rocha Monteiro deconstructs the layered meanings of an expression that, while ostensibly seeking to neutralise difference, ultimately reinforces its significance. Through a strategy of repetition and variation, the artist engages with multiple visual and cinematic codes, using them as tools to provoke new questions and self-reflections on ways of seeing. Reclaiming and reiterating Raymond Saunders’ words, he insists: “black is a colour.”
