Greyline – Glossar der Nacht
Schlafmodus an!
Description
Our world exists in a state of constant wakefulness. Production, consumption, and communication continue without pause — even at night. Cities are illuminated by artificial light, outshining the natural night sky. Light creeps into our most intimate and private spaces.
The publication traces the profound marks of light that have been made in the Anthropocene since the invention of electricity. Humans abandon their natural biorhythms and fuel the ecological crisis through light emissions.
The glossary invites readers to immerse themselves in the deep, dark night, encouraging sensuality, an experience of nature, and a new perception. It offers a collection of literary references, terms, and photographs that reveal the many facets of the night.
‘Glossary of the Night’ inspires reflection on one’s own state of constant availability in our 24/7 society and prompts engagement with the interrelations between humans and nature.
