This publication is focuses on the Portuguese word Saudade and The Presence of Absence / The Absence of Presence. It explores how Saudade as a feeling can be transformed into Synaesthesia and how it can be made tangible through an individual and personal experience. Additionally to the theoretical part a tangible, threedimensional exploration is taken through form, colour and feeling. Advertising materials, such as flyers and posters, create curiosity for the upcoming installation. The two main colours represent longing for something and someone — past and future.
