When my thoughts are heavy and difficult, is my head heavier ? And when my thoughts are light, is my brain therefore lighter ? Where exactly are my thoughts ? Do they travel throughout the body ? These are some of the questions Ivana Müller asks herself. She tries to find the answers in a study spanning many months. The show plays like an academic conference which relates Ivana Müller’s research : test videos, work notes and interviews. Lightness, humor and cleverness : in How heavy Are My Thoughts ?, the croatian artist’s questions are a lot less absurd than they seem.
