Exclusively for Saturated Space, Hillary Bretcko writes about colour in the Land of Oz, and by extension, our cities through the lens of imagination...
"First published in 1900, L. Frank Baum's The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz was revolutionary in its treatment of fictional
worlds and the book as an object inherently tied the the story. This
investigation into Dorothy's tale traces the use of colour throughout the book
as it relates to themes of place, identity, artificiality, and perception as
well as how the Wizard's City of Emeralds parallels our contemporary
understanding of the global City."
