Without emptiness, matter does not exist. But what if the void itself contains all the meanings we seek? In her book Atlas of Void, German artist Kathleen Alisch offers us a tangible and hypnotic proof of how
space—interior, exterior, and other—is synonymous with infinite possibilities. The ninety-six page book, published by L’Artiere in 2022, collects images that seem to come from our everyday world and at the same time from places we swear we’ve seen in a dream, or perhaps in other dimensions. Black, silver, present, absent: each photograph draws us into the boundary between reality and perception, creating a silent rhythm that does not need words—and gives viewers the time to find their own. A map of the void was possible all along.

Jeff Dworsky dropped out of school at 14, bought a Leica at 15, and moved to a small island in Maine at 16 to become a fisherman.
In his debut monograph, Sealskin, photographs of his life are paced to an old Celtic folktale about a fisherman who discovers a selkie—a mythical creature that can transform from a seal into a human—falls in love, has a family, but must let her go. This tale mirrors Dworsky’s own life, it is a story of desire, the erosion of time, and the inevitability of change. Using Kodachrome film, Dworsky documented his family, daily life, and the fishing community in a small Maine village during the 70-80s, capturing a world that no longer exists.
