Abstract
This article points to the role of undecidedness in people's conceptual and material world. After discussing how aspect seeing and knowledge interests shape ontological expressions, the article points to the role of light in everyday life and discusses how the words informants use may have too wide connotations to precisely clarify what they mean, while in other contexts the informants may not be able to express their sensuous encounter verbally. This undecided way of relating to the world is then discussed in terms of the concept of atmospheres, as a particular feeling of space that captures the intermingling of affect, emotions, materiality and sensuousness through its inherent vagueness.
