Yesterday I watched the first episode of “Abstract” featuring Christoph Niemann who already appeared in this link collection two months ago.

In one take he mentions that yellow is his favorite color and I instantly thought of a quote by Uwe Johnson in “a letter from New York”:

Sie müssen die Sache mehr Gelb sehen.

(It must have been published in one of H. M. Enzensberger’s “Kursbuch” journals but I only found some excerpts of the letter in this untitled PDF, somewhere deep down in Carsten Gansel’s website.)

I wonder if Mr Niemann knows about Mr Johnson and his affinity to the color yellow – or, as I learnt in the meantime: his yellow phase… @abstractsunday
