The weigh-in

An ongoing exploration of how we measure, value and understand ourselves.

This research project explores how systems of measurement shape the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

From the first moment a human being is weighed, recorded and categorized, aspects of life are translated into numbers. Weight, height, performance, income, intelligence, popularity and productivity: measurement helps us understand the world, but it also influences how we define ourselves within it.

The weigh-in explores the space between what can be measured and what gives life meaning. What happens when a number becomes more than information? When measurement turns into judgement? And how do we relate to systems that define what is considered valuable, normal or successful?

Through participatory installations, spatial works, rituals, guided visualisations and artistic research, I aim to create situations in which these invisible structures become tangible. I am interested in moments where familiar systems are temporarily disrupted, allowing new perspectives and forms of self-understanding to emerge.

The project does not seek definitive answers, but meaningful encounters. Each work is an experiment within a larger ongoing inquiry into how we measure, value and understand ourselves.
