MagmaQuattro is the first of a special double issue dedicated to the theme of Alienation. Vincent Moro and Aurora Giampaoli have indeed decided to explore the chosen theme without involving external contributors, seeking to individually, intimately, and personally delve into the essence of the alienating condition.
Aurora Giampaoli is the author of all the contents of this issue 4, whose composition is inspired by a personal reluctance to place oneself in the current cultural, political, and media context that fuels a growing sense of disorientation and a desire to escape from a divisive and polarizing system. The condition of estrangement is translated, in these pages, into a search for deep connections and a desire to escape to alternative spaces, in a cosmic journey to preserve one’s integrity.
