A new nowhere

Third issue of Parklife begins with a shift of perspective—a turning outward. Not toward a landscape of memory or idealized escape, but toward the landscape as a question. A surface to be examined, unraveled, and reassembled.
What does it mean to look outside—not just to see what is, but to imagine what might be formed from its fragments?
A new nowhere unfolds in the space between perception and projection, where what we know begins to blur into what we imagine. This “nowhere” is not defined by absence, but by possibility: a terrain still forming, shaped by the quiet gestures of observing, questioning, and redrawing the edges of the visible.
It becomes an act of definition—tentative, fragmentary, and open-ended. A constellation of images and intuitions orbiting around something still unnamed.
Here, the landscape is not framed to be admired, but to be experienced, inhabited and continually reimagined.
A new nowhere imagines a world where the boundaries between nature, architecture, labor, and daily life dissolve into a single, evolving fabric. A world where the external is not separate, but deeply implicated in how we live and act.
The future, then, is not a fixed point ahead, but a soft and continuous unfolding of the present—a movement shaped by how we choose to look and react.
The contributions in this issue do not seek to explain or define, but resonate like echoes of something that is still forming, just beyond our reach.
Each author traces a possible passage through the unknown—a fleeting geography shaped by visions still shifting, still unsettled.
What takes form is not a fixed image, but a moving landscape, one that invites interpretation as much as it resists it. In this space, to look is already to begin building—to construct meaning through perception, to assemble a place from what is not yet fully there.

A pause requires agility

If we perceive the pause as an interruption of a flow, is this moment experienced with greater awareness about the present? The second issue of Parklife is dedicated to the concept of rest, highlighting how we experience surrounding space while taking a break and, published once a year, is in continuity with the first, delving into the concept of living in outer space.
Offering personal interpretations by 16 authors, the publication not only explores the nature of interruption itself, but the different ways of awareness that arise during these moments. Starting from the idea that a pause requires agility, the publication provides a new key about the theme, exploring several facets and understandings related to pause, whether human or animal, temporary or everlasting.

Parklife is an independent publication edited by Continente Editions about outdoor space, curated by Paola Ristoldo and Alessandro Furchino Capria. The magazine, launched in April 2023 in London and with annual release, addresses stories of ordinary and uncommon places by developing visual and literary narratives. Driven by a primordial need to create, occupy and control a territory, human being becomes inhabitant of a place defined and circumscribed by and for himself. Why does humanity feel the need to design these spaces? How are they experienced?
Through an authorial approach and with unpublished projects, thirteen artists and a confrontation between an architect and a designer explore the concept of the park understood as a place of daily life. All these visions make it possible to conceive green space and its inhabitants as an essential and united part of the city context. Parklife is a refuge from the urban sprawl.
