Description
Already the Middle Ages knew of horror vacui, the horror of emptiness. And as for us today, there is still nothing we fear more than idleness and boredom, empty gas tanks and empty supermarket shelves. On the other hand, the ghostly emptiness we experienced during the coronavirus lockdown or in dystopian zombie films also has something fascinating about it. For the atomists of antiquity, it was only thanks to the void that there was any movement in the world at all. From Zen to Dada, from modernism to pop culture, emptiness is not feared or denied, but celebrated and affirmed, explored and staged. This book tells the ever-changing story of an ambivalent concept. It is not only about the powerful phantasm of the great, enormous void at the beginning and end of the world, but also about the void as a space of play and in-between: about the empty spaces of our self-images and world views, about a loosened culture of pauses and gaps. Because, as we all know, the holes are what essentially makes a sieve.
