Alter Ego

Claire Bourrassé – Alter Ego

In the evening you’re heading home alone. You will sleep alone at night. Sometimes you open your eyes, drowsy, your mind still plunged into a dream. It is there.  Emptiness. In your lifetime you have felt it already many times. How can this void, by definition the absence of everything, be transformed into a feeling? You have to know that your shadow is a friend, the only one that is a constant; it accompanies your empty body and never abandons you. This book is a research into identity, which is based on duality, on the need to project on to someone else in order to define oneself.

In the evening you’re heading home alone. You will sleep alone at night. Sometimes you open your eyes, drowsy, your mind still plunged into a dream. It is there.
Emptiness.
In your lifetime you have felt it already many times.
How can this void, by definition the absence of everything, be transformed into a feeling?
You have to know that your shadow is a friend, the only one that is a constant; it accompanies your empty body and never abandons you.

This book is a research into identity, which is based on duality, on the need to project on to someone else in order to define oneself.
