English Issue 16/2026

One of the topics we want to focus on this year is embodiment. Not only as a counterbalance to the disembodied digital world, but also as a way of becoming aware of and appreciating the spiritual in the material. We begin, in this issue, with excerpts from a work on material qualities in art. How does spirit manifest itself in them? Emanuela Assenza has researched these questions from an artistic and scientific perspective. Art not only involves material qualities—it also testifies in many ways to the encounter with matter.
