Color Aid is one of the most talked-about movies released in 1971, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
Like the three "Hands" films by Richard Serra (1968), the subject of "Color Aid" are fingers as actors of real time activity. Monochrome colour cards lying on top of each other and filling the whole screen are being pulled away individually with a swishing sound by a single finger, each time bringing a new colour into view.
