When you hear him talk at length about color spaces, color systems, and colorants, you might think he is trying to fool you, to “lead you behind the light”, as they say in German. And indeed he does, but in a completely different, enlightening, and literal sense, by making you aware of the fundamental properties of color, light, and perception:

“I apply all the colors of the visible spectrum to the surface with the light source and get white. I apply all the colors of the visible spectrum to the surface that absorbs the light and get black.” ¹
