Book published to document The Power of Color, the Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art Handspan Gallery Health Center Project, Ansan: Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art & Seoul: Specter Press, 2009.

The Health Center Project, which was inspired by the ‘color therapy’ theory of Dr. Morton Walker, is documented in the first 32 pages with essays by Hong-hee Kim, Geun-jun Lim and Kyung-hwan Yeo. The rest of the book is made simply of different kinds of colored paper, with no information except brief quotations from Dr. Walker’s book The Power of Color (1991) on alleged physiological effects of each color. The cover pays homage to both Dr. Walker’s book and Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon (1973). Do not ask why – we just want to believe.
