Work introduction
How black does black have to be to be really black - how white does white have to be to be really white?
How many different whites are there, how many different blacks - which is the right one, the real black, the unequivocal white?
And what is grey? A mixture of black and white - but, in what proportion and above all: which black is mixed with which white?
Isn't white already a bit, and black still, grey?
Does white exist at all, does black exist?
