Unknown Quantities
Edition 6

Space, Place

From the Editors

The sixth issue of Unknown Quantities focuses on the theme of space and place, examining the duality of the two notions in relation to each other, taking into account geographer Yi-Fu Tuan's observation that "place is security, space is freedom: we are attached to the one and long for the other". We as editors have relied on this premise as a starting point to gather a collection of written and visual works from a wide range of contributors. Through the lens of their respective practices, the contributors raise social and political concerns as well as critical ideas about perceptions, culture and identity regarding space and place.

Our understanding of these concepts focuses on the transient position of the self within the local and global environments. We invite you to get lost in the following pages, explore these ideas and find your own relationship to space and place.
