In "Près de Nemi, encore la même histoire," exchanges of text and images take place in the vicinity of rest, action, and the will to both. The undecidability of constant dusk provides a background for exploring the limits of somatic experience, where the images incite touch, texture, and uncomfortable tenderness.

The image of the Caribbean is as much a creation of the West as it is the result of its population's incredibly complex identity.

How do we draft a life, make of it a project, do our daily work? In what material and language does it arrive to us? And what if but it is done with one’s own body, and that body becomes this material but not the subject? Villiger’s autofictions––whether sculpture or image, human or vegetal body––prompt such queries.

Das Leben als Balanceakt: In der einzigartigen Graphic Novel "Moise, mein Freund" erzählt Florin Moise seine bewegende Geschichte. Er erzählt von seiner Flucht aus einem der berüchtigten rumänischen Kinderheime, seinem Leben als Straßenkind in Bukarest, seiner Suche nach einer eigenen Familie, seiner Arbeit in den von Pater Georg Sporschill initiierten Sozialprojekten und den vielen Neuanfängen und Aufbrüchen

The things one finds wandering in a landscape: familiar things and utterly unknown, like a flower one has never seen before, or, as Columbus discovered, an inexplicable continent; and then, behind a hill, as if knitted by giant grandmothers, lies this vast rabbit, to make you feel as small as a daisy.

In the first half of the 20th century, when architecture and literature dreamed of transparency, glass was the material these dreams were made of. However, the historiography of both fields usually focuses on a few canonical works by male authors to tell the story of this shared fascination. Departing from this imbalance,

Neue Straßen überwinden das Leitbild der autogerech­ten Stadt und zeigen so die wiedergefundene Bedeutung öffentlichen Raums auf. So werden aus reinen Verbin­dungs- und Erschließungslinien multifunktionale Aufenthalts- und Begegnungsräume.

New streets overcome the model of the car-friendly city and thus demonstrate the rediscovered importance of public space. In this way, pure connecting and access routes are transformed into multifunctional recreational and meeting spaces.

What is the work of the African creative intellectual? Whether branded as ‘native’ by Fanon or ‘negro’ by Cruse, the vocation and commitment of Africa’s creative intellectuals and their mode of ‘self-writing’ has been under examination for much of the post-colonial era. Bekolo’s new text is a valuable addition to this important library.

Plants are among the most important materials for effective landscape design. Yet the fundamentals of plant biology and growth; their morphology, color, and functional assets; and details such as planting, pruning techniques, and maintenance practices are surprisingly absent from our education and training, which tend to focus on other core principles like drainage, grading, and spatial relationships.

Norman, born in Baltimore in 1933, had left the U.S. in the early 1960s to study German, theater, and medicine in Göttingen.

While the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century diminished the role of the craftsperson in the manufacturing process, the digital revolution has had a less devastating effect.

Wer war Sabina von Steinbach? Folgt man ihrer Darstellung auf dem Figurenfries im Treppenhaus der Alten Nationalgalerie in Berlin, war sie eine bedeutende mittelalterliche Bildhauerin. Jedoch, wahrscheinlich hat es sie nie gegeben. Warum ist sie dennoch, als einzige Künstlerin überhaupt, Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts in jenen zentralen Fries berühmter Persönlichkeiten aufgenommen worden?

Modern Animal by Yevgenia Belorusets is a book published in 2021 by ISOLARII Belorusets connects a series of different characters and ideas, making use of a Soviet-style lecture form. While writing the novel, Belorusets interviewed people along the Donbas region, approaching the Russian-Ukrainian conflict through stories about animals.

Writing for magCulture, Danielle Mustarde notes how over the course of the novel the "once-structured Modern Animal evolves into a dream-like mix of interview, folklore and fiction." Forewords by Peter Greenaway and Nikita Kadan.

"In a house you wanted to intrude, searching for a narrative you've detected between a character, images and photographs. I remember bumping against a floor lamp, causing its glow to waver briefly. Trying to ascertain the transmissions while already standing in front of objects that demand to be looked at."

The catalogue is published on occasion of the exhibition ‘The Purloined Masterpiece. Images as Time Machines’ at the Paintings Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

First published in 1961, Lorenza Mazzetti’s “The Sky is Falling” (“Il cielo cade”) is an impressionistic, idiosyncratic, and uniquely funny look at the writer’s childhood after she and her sister are sent to live with their Jewish relatives following the death of their parents. Bright and bucolic, vivid and mournful, and brimming with saints, martyrdom, ideals, wrong-doing and self-imposed torments,

This book is dedicated to the work of Marcin Rusak, as part of a series of monographs on the thought and work of young contemporary designers.

Guy Mees’s (1935–2003) photographs, videos, and above all his fragile works on paper are characterized by a formal rigor combined with sensitivity and delicacy. The uniqueness of his oeuvre lies precisely in its avoidance of conventional aesthetics and discursive classifications.

“Dengler’s oeuvre is also about trauma, both personal and collective, and although it offers no consolation whatsoever, another place where it investigates the meanderings of the human psyche is the shrink’s—pop or not—sofa.

es ist kein buch im eigentlichen sinn … es ist eine art faltschachtel, in der sich eine vulkanische expedition abspielt … es gibt ein langes panorama mit über 235 figuren … menschlichen und nicht-menschlichen … inspiriert unter anderem ....
it's not exactly a book … it's a kind of folder which contains a volcanic excursion … there is a long panorama with more than 235 characters … humans and non-humans … partly inspired by diego rivera's murals and inhabited by klimt's gorgons and typhoeus, among many others.

Over the last fifteen years, Istanbul has emerged as one of the principal megacities at the outset of the twenty-first century. The picturesque has given way to an unexpected boom of new, profit-driven urban development including high-rise, sterile gated communities and satellite cities to house a vastly expanding population — all at the expense of long-time residents and under the mantle of a self-confident and arbitrary government.

Independent art spaces on the African continent have flourished, particularly over the past twenty years in tandem with a youthful population in fast-urbanising cities.

Maximiliane Baumgartner’s Ich singe nicht für Bilder schöne Lieder (I Don’t Sing Beautiful Songs for Pictures) is the first comprehensive publication that contextualizes and traces her artistic practice of the last four years in relation to the fields of painting, action (space) pedagogy, and critical research on the subject of urban planning.

Francesco Clemente wie man ihn kennt: eine Bildsprache, die aus einer Vielzahl von Symbolen, Mythen, Kulturen und Philosophien schöpft. Aufgeladen von Erotik seine Frauenporträts, die er in Pastelltechnik auf Rives Papier schuf.

‘A grove of giant redwoods or sequoias should be kept just as we keep a great or beautiful cathedral.’

The Mechanism is a melancholic series of black-and-white photographs that form a sci-fi story about contemporary life. Bringing together images made in multiple cities, the work deals with themes of technology, surveillance and urban society.

A number of contributions in the new issue of zweikommasieben relate to the past in some shape or form, and they conjure it in different ways. An approach that seems adequate, since the year 2020 might have given momentum to a nostalgic way of looking at the world. In an interview, the Australian duo CS + Kreme talks about how they still feed off the energy of an alchemic jam they had at the very beginning of their collaboration. Similarly, Johanna Hedva takes on the past in her artistic practice and speaks about how she understands performances as “the communion with the dead, with the past.”
