For Numéro Berlin, french director Paul Franco created with us an exclusive feature that explores the concept of life as a circle. Experiment 75°2 – traces and residue of an existence – reflects the endless motion of life, the encounters that shape and mirror us, the beauty of progress and change. As an artistic experiment, it offers a preview for our upcoming spring/summer 2022 issue which we will dedicate to the theme empathy. We want to challenge questions like how to provide each other mutual support, especially in times like these? How to encourage the other and provide hope in dark moments? How to switch our perspective and step out of our bubble?
''Life is a full circle, widening until it joins the circle motions of the infinite.''
(Anaïs Nin)
Everything begins with the understanding of unity, the realization that we are all one. Let’s listen to each other without judgment. Let’s cultivate peace with our hands and words. „It is up to us to make compassion structural.“ (Yung Pueblo)
