How much do thoughts weigh?
HOW MUCH DO THOUGHTS WEIGH is a part of the photo and installation project „Dichotomie“.
It is a self-study and analysis about the diversity, the complexity and the different personalities that a human being can have.
The project works on different levels and uses different tools and mediums to visualize the inner world and make the unseen seen.
The weight of your thoughts
Running and chasing
Sometimes clear as the sky
Sometimes like a toxic fog
Following you everywhere
All the time
From the moment you get up
Until they let you sleep
Barely
They follow you in your dreams
They chase you
Confuse you
They blind you
A light in the tunnel
Hidden in the dark
A solar eclipse
Living in the inner world
While the outer world seems far away
The body is their cage
The skin is their shell
Flying and twirling around
As they come and go
As fast as the light
They hit like a stroke
And have a strong after taste
You carry that weight
The weight of your thoughts
The weight of yourself
They slow you down
You stumble and fall
disoriented and lost
In a maze of your thoughts
But you don’t know the way.
You don’t even know yourself.
