wo sonst Flugzeuge im Minutentakt abheben, ist nahezu jede Bewegung zum Erliegen gekommen. Der Himmel über dem Rollfeld leuchtet blau, die Kondensstreifen sind verflogen, die elend langen Gänge gespenstisch leer. Im April 2020, auf dem Höhepunkt des ersten Corona-Lockdowns, besuchte der Offenbacher Fotograf Marc Krause den Frankfurter Flughafen, um mit seiner Analogkamera die seltsame Stille dieses »Nichtortes« einzufangen. Ohne die getaktete Geschäftigkeit des Regelbetriebs fiel sein Blick auf die Dinge, die der Rausch der Bewegung für gewöhnlich verschluckt: die Geometrie der konstruktivistischen Architektur, das Spiel aus Licht und Schatten, die Überbleibsel und Hinterlassenschaften der Reisenden, die sich normalerweise zu Tausenden durch die riesigen Hallen schieben. Entstanden ist ein faszinierender Einblick in eine fast surreal anmutende Welt – ein beunruhigendes Zeitdokument und beeindruckendes Fotobuch, das den Betrachter zwischen Melancholie und sehnsüchtiger Hoffnung zurücklässt. Ergänzt wird diese von Victor Balko gestaltete Publikation durch einen Text von Florian Siebeck.

The fascination with Emma Kunz (1892 – 1963) has never been greater than it is today. Much that the researcher, healer and artist anticipated with her holistic way of thinking is now taken for granted in contemporary art. ‘My images are intended for th …

System launches Issue 17 exploring the future of shopping. Featuring cover stars, Mr Ji, founder and chairman of SKP Beijing, and José Neves, founder of Farfetch. In February, this year, it was reported that SKP Beijing had become the highest-performing luxury department store in the world. The news highlighted what is arguably the defining transition – both pre- and post-pandemic – for the global luxury fashion market: Chinese consumer appetite and purchasing power is now sustaining the profitability of many Western brands. System has spent the past six months exploring the world of SKP for our cover story. This is the first time its founder and chairman Mr Ji has agreed to be interviewed, so we took full advantage and invited Patrizio Bertelli, CEO of Prada, and Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Loewe and JW Anderson, to record conversations with him, before Mr Ji led photographer Juergen Teller on a personal guided tour (remotely, of course) through SKP’s younger-and-edgier sister store, SKP-S. Meanwhile, our second cover story features José Neves, founder of e-commerce giant Farfetch. In a wide-ranging interview, Neves discusses the realities of online success in lockdown, the convergence of virtual and physical fashion, and how the Farfetch-coined ‘Luxury New Retail’ is transforming the shopping experience. With portraits shot by Juergen Teller.

What if humanity’s primary inven­tions were not the Hero’s spear but rather a basket of wild oats, a medicine bundle, a story. Ursula K. Le Guin’s 1986 essay The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction presents a feminist story of technology that centres on the collective sustenance of life, and reimagines the carrier bag as a tool for telling strangely realistic fictions. New writings and images respond to Le Guin’s narrative practice of world­making through gathering and holding.
