Abstract

Air is a physical, gaseous medium surrounding planet earth. It is brought forth and kept in its particular balance by the life-enhancing mutual transformation of all domains of this earth, both the geosphere and the biosphere. Air is the invisible domain of mutual transformation of life into non-life, individuals into other individuals, and solid bodies into invisible potential. Air is thus not only a physical reality, but also the potential of giving life, the breath of “poetic space”.
