Do you see, what I see
Excerpts of a photoexhibition about phsycosis photographed and written by Liv M Kastrup and Rikke Kjær Poulsen
Phsycosis is a condition of the mind where your perception of reality is changed. It affects the way you think, feel and experience the world.
The mental illness can affect anyone, but the causes of the pshycotic periods can be complex and hard to determine. It can stem from stress, lifechanging events, drugs, physical or other mental illnesses.
You get to meet people, who have experienced phsycotic behaviour. Though the causes vary, the difficulties to determine what is real and what is not applies to all of them.
The exhibition consists of two sides of the same person. One is who they are, one is a glimpse of the reality as they experienced it during their pshycotic periods. Through close collaboration we have tried to visualize their state of mind during the phsycosis. This was done to give you the ability to try and understand them as individuals and how it affected who they are today.
For can you be the same, when you return to reality again?
