Translucency as a material concept pushed to its extreme by the architect Peter Zumthor in the Bruder-Klaus-Feldkapelle. The relationship between light and matter is no longer a question of the degree of transparency, but a plastic and symbolic one, mobilizing a phenomenology of materiality and a material imagination to question architecture as a sculptural and ritual experience.

Hylozoism is the philosophical point of view that matter is in some sense alive. Hylozoism refers largely to views such as those of the earliest Greek philosophers (6th and 5th centuries BC), who treated the magnet as alive because of its attractive powers (Thales), or air as divine (Anaximenes), perhaps because of its apparently spontaneous power of movement, or because of its essentiality for life in animals. The theory holds that matter is unified with life or spiritual activity. Thales, Anaximenes, and Heraclitus all taught that there is a form of life in all material objects. It was Thales who maintained that all things are full of gods (daimon).
Born in Zürich in 1940, Fleur Jaeggy spent her childhood and adolescence in the lush and jagged landscape of Switzerland, where she attended boarding school. In her twenties, she moved to Rome and befriended the German writer Ingeborg Bachmann, to whom this slim novel is significantly dedicated. Published in 1980, The Water Statues appeared seven years after Bachmann’s death, in a fire she sparked after falling asleep smoking a cigarette. The overwhelming presence of water in this book seems to surge in elemental contrast to the circumstances of Bachmann’s death. On one of his walks, Beeklam remembers a line he once read: “Water is a burnt body.” As if Jaeggy is attempting to douse Bachmann’s fire with the well of her grief.
