ISSUE 08 — Landscape(s)
What is a landscape, if not a mirror of our attention?
In this eighth issue of The Light Observer, we turn our gaze toward Landscape(s) — not as static scenery, but as a shifting field of relations, memory, and perception. The artists and works gathered here traverse geographies both external and internal, questioning how we inhabit the visible world and how it, in turn, inhabits us.
Joan Ayrton, CYCLORAMA, Nancy Holt, Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato, Lin Meng, Peter Piller, Maria Stamenković Herranz, Chris Sullivan

ISSUE 06 — Play
The sixth issue revolves around the theme of “Play”. Play of lights, theatre play, play of colour, playgrounds, play of the wind on the sand, playfulness... Duchamp reportedly said: “art is a game between all people of all periods”.

ISSUE 05 — Night
The fifth issue of The Light Observer explores the night, which immediately evokes a whole host of ideas, feelings and memories. It is this multiplicity that led us to investigate this theme in our new issue. Sometimes a space for expression and freedom, sometimes a moment of tension and fear, the night stimulates and exacerbates. It makes us reflect on our dreams.

ISSUE 04 — Prospective
The fourth issue of The Light Observer is dedicated to prospective thinkers and artists opening our eyes to a possible future.
