To be suspended is to feel oneself hanging, to be stretched between structured forms and towards the impossible. It is to occupy spaces, times, and/or bodies in between and in transition. It is to materialize the social in its tremulating forms, not knowing exactly what lies beneath one’s feet, where and how, when and if one will touch down. States of suspension involve a reaching or an impulse towards a different social, without knowing what that difference will or will not do: what or who it will upset, connect, confirm. In making the call for this issue, we wanted to gather texts and artworks animated, motivated, electrified by this sense of tenuous balancing, blurring boundaries, uncertainty, and tension.
