vakuum Issue 04 “Chaos / Ordnung” explores the tension between disruption and structure – the moments when systems collapse and new patterns emerge. It looks at how order can arise from chaos, and how chaos can, in turn, challenge what we perceive as order. The 128 pages merge visual experiments, artistic reflections, and cultural observations into a dialogue between control and spontaneity.

As a dual-themed print magazine, each vakuum issue functions as a stand-alone conceptual work portraying two opposing perspectives – designed to be read from both sides, meeting in the middle and featuring two covers.

This issue features exclusive interviews with artist and performer Esben Weile Kjær, musician Symba, actors Luisa Gaffron and Tijan Marei, and producer Kev Koko, as well as curator Emma Enderby, tech entrepreneur Aya Jaff, and photographer Charlotte Schmitz.

This issue marks the first time vakuum appears in two distinct versions.
Both editions feature the same content – edition one features one cover photographed by Nereis Ferrer and one by Shauna Summers featuring Symba. Edition two features covers photographed by Frauke Joana and Mathilde Lesueur.
