(…) Zu Anfang allerdings ist da nicht viel: so gut wie nichts, nichts Greifbares, praktisch nur Unstoffliches: Ausdehnung, Außenwelt, das, was außerhalb von uns ist, das, in dessen Mitte wir uns bewegen, die Umwelt, der Raum ringsum.
Georges Perec: Träume von Räumen, 1974

The Spirits We Summoned… is a collaborative project by students at the Mainz Academy of Fine Arts and is conceived as an artistic and experimental exploration of Sigmar Polke’s Athanor installation – in particular his photographic work created in the run-up to the project and the resulting publication. At its heart lies a conscious reflection and dreaming about spaces: their history, their peculiarities, their possible future. How can we connect with spaces artistically and make them tangible?
(…) To start with, there wasn’t very much: nothingness, the impalpable, the virtually immaterial; extension, the external, what is external to us, what we move about in the midst of, our ambient milieu, the space around us.
Georges Perec: Species of Spaces and Other Pieces, 1974
