Acne Paper # 9 deals with spirituality and religion: If your eyes are the windows to your soul, what happens when you close them? You have drawn the curtains and retired into solitude. When nobody can look in, where do you find yourself? You are definitely alone. But is it dark? There is, as David Lynch will tell you in this issue, a bright light within you. He calls it an ocean of conciousness.

This issue features: Tilda Swinton, Orlan, Slavoj Zizek, Edvard Munch, AA Bronson, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Swarovski crystals and many more.
