Himmel 
Und Hölle


Following the protagonists of the international aggregator art scene, this research art periodical examines their often innovative exhibiting strategies, artistic forms, neo-medieval sensibilities, and post-apocalyptic moods, situating these practices and narratives within a broader aesthetic, social, and technological landscape — at the dawn of the Night era. Loosely echoing Graham Harman’s flat ontology, the publication positions itself methodologically at the intersection of contemporary art, art history and theory, game studies, and social, political, and migration studies, alongside discussions surrounding the green economy and related fields.
