Parklife, Issue 2. 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 Issue 1 A refuge from the urban sprawl

April 2023



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Through an authorial approach and with unpublished projects, thirteen artists and a confrontation between an architect and a designer explore the concept of the park understood as a place of daily life.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.
