Gobogoh-boh
n. The delirium of having spent all day in an aesthetic frame of mind--watching a beautiful movie, taking photos across the city, getting lost in an art museum--which infuses the world with an aura of meaning, until every crack in the wall becomes a commitment to naturalism, and every rainbow swirling in a puddle feels like a choice. Short for go-between. In theatrical lighting, a gobo is a layer inserted into a lamp that shapes the pool of light that hits the stage.
