This paper means to interpret Ettinger’s artistic practice and theoretical thinking in the light of Levinas’s category of the face, as a transcendent, asymmetrical and exceeding alterity, unamenable to the categories of the Same. The work of art becomes trace, event-encounter in which the spectator affectively resounds with the artist and becomes a witness of Someone Else’s trauma, responsible for a primeval corporeal vulnerability to be accepted with compassionate hospitality. Aesth-etics is so configured as a trans-subjective relationality, a matrixial network of affective connections in which an original co-belonging is experienced, from which a met(r)amorphic process of reciprocal co-poietic transformation departs, capable of giving events a different development
