A brief film that foregrounds color as subject — reddishness as phenomenological state.

Sixty-four seconds about the inexactness of red — phenomenology as title. Probably more interesting to describe than to watch.
Foregrounding 'reddish' rather than 'red' as phenomenological state is the Jarman Blue / Turrell gesture compressed to a minute — the inexactness of the title is the entire thesis. I respect the rigor while acknowledging its modest scale.
1:04 of color-as-subject from Mark O'Connell — the title's inexactness ('Reddish' not 'Red') is the formal argument, but with only 2 likes and no deeper page content, this reads as personal practice rather than realized statement.
