This October, Emergence Magazine heads to Berlin for a special weekend at Flussbad in celebration of the launch of their latest print edition, Volume 6: Seasons. Reflecting a world where snow no longer arrives, annual migrations fall out of time, and yet first blossoms still burst, this volume moves through three themes: requiem, invitation, and celebration, each a contemplation on the paradoxical ways the seasons now beckon us into intimate relationship with the Earth. The launch will be the first chance for readers to explore the volume and its themes.
FIVE STUDIES ON LIGHT
The two-day experience will feature the world premiere of the interactive film Five Studies on Light, by Emergence’s creative partner Studio Airport in collaboration with Dutch installation artist Boris Acket. This work explores the phenomenon of light as it unfolds through the seasons—its mysteries, its beauty, and its profound, visceral presence in our lives. Alongside the film, guests will experience a 360° sound installation in the Reethaus’ inner chamber. Composer Julian Tjon Sack Kie will weave an immersive soundscape with an acoustic live performance, enriched by the spoken word of Vittoria Totale. This multimedia installation—where light becomes sound, seasons become stories, and mediums converge—invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and attune yourself to light, the most essential element of the seasons.
