The id-em. concept is based on 4 stones : multiplicity, topography, language, color.
In a world where everything and everyone is defined by numbers and words, the id-em. projet sugest the invention of an alternativ to this crude language with a new one based on shapes and colors. A language more poetic, sensitive and abstract. A data base of shapes, paterns and colors have been defined to create abstracts portraits of each personality / state of mind. Each actor enters into a room in which some secret tets are done in à way to provide an algorythm that will define his abstract identity. A sensitive aproach of "the result". The patient can put his result in the big wall next to the room to share it with the other patients and take away his result into an hermetically sealed pouch.
The book was presented to introduce the entire creative process ( creation beginings, dispositiv, ideas, goals, results and values.) and makes the patient discover inside the power of abstraction with a color - shapes dictionary thought like a "cadavre exquis" to put "face to face" a shape and a color to explor his own particulary-personality.
