EDITORIAL<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Readers!<\/p>\n

EIKON Magazine is undergoing a phase of reorientation, a process of reflection and new beginnings. During this transitional period, a team is forming that will shape EIKON in the future with a precise eye, great intellectual curiosity, and fresh perspectives. This new beginning in personnel allows us to rethink established structures and test new ones: Expect more accentuated photo series, even more space for art in its diversity, and a magazine layout that we are carefully but consistently making clearer and more reader-friendly. At the same time, a central self-conception is once again coming into focus: our mission of mediation \u2013 the task of making photographic practices and discourses accessible, readable, and experienceable. We intend to pursue this with even greater attention, sensitivity, and depth to further sharpen the dialogue between art, theory, and the public.<\/p>\n

More and more, EIKON Magazine’s offerings and online services are converging. Soon, new offerings will await you on EIKON Web and via the EIKON Newsletter \u2013 be sure to subscribe, it’s free!<\/p>\n

Your feedback, opinions, suggestions, and criticism are important to us. Let us know how you like the current issue, what you would like to see in the future, and how we can inspire you even more as a reader.<\/p>\n

The current issue is published as a double issue with the special theme “Picture Politics”. It focuses on moments where images are involved in societal negotiation processes. The selected contributions highlight various artistic strategies through which photographic practices make political realities visible, question them, or reformulate them. At the same time, the limits of artistic-activist image production are also revealed. We wish you an engaging read.<\/p>\n

Our heartfelt thanks go to our long-standing subscribers, readers, funding institutions, as well as friends and companions of EIKON, who continue to support us during this transitional period. Your trust underpins our renewal process.<\/p>\n
