Are we truly able to trust our dreams and subconscious? Can we surrender our bodies to impulse and intuition?
Intrigued by these questions, Sophie Louise Feith and Susi Hinz, a dynamic duo with experience in art and visual culture and a progressive, interdisciplinary approach to fashion, explore the contradictions of the human mind and its longing for a sense of control. Flesh Bones Mind is the result of their collaboration with Œ Magazine, Zign and a vast array of Berlin-based creative talents. It is a journey through the different parts of our psyche and perception and takes the form of three “letters”…
The first one explores a vague dystopia, a metaphorical place where people are numbed, conformed and anonymous. Here we are confronted with an unsettling and shockingly familiar feeling of torpidity but also with the need to surrender our minds to its undisclosed desires.
The second letter is a comparatively emancipated mind-space, in which “expression” is contemplated, yet never fulfilled and where the inhabitants remain hampered by various constraints, incapable of achieving their full creative potential.
Finally, the third letter and ideal destination represents the oddity of the subconscious: a state where rationality holds no power, and its citizens can finally surrender to their instincts and senses…
From the moon she said.
I’m not absolute,
I’m fluid.
We did not touch,
we did not look,
do you remember de first time?
Good travel stranger.
