After measuring curiosity, protest and lust for life against knowledge and wisdom, the poem, prose and photography in Was wiegen die Wolken convey resistance, anger and devotion. Having passed through so many worlds, the author is concerned with the inextricable interweaving of things, living beings and forms of knowledge, as in the style of her photographic images, which seek to concentrate on the essential in calm compositions, carried by an earthy heaviness with all the love of the bizarre and absurd and yet also with hope through a longing captured in images and verse. Rosemarie Zens constantly seeks to define her own writing and photography in essayistic terms. Both forms of expression, the photographic and the poetic image, she explains, "do not mix, but can touch each other and create spaces in between. Through images, we encounter curiosity for the unexpected and follow the desire for existential reassurance." Associative chains of contradictory truths about the interweaving of nature and history encourage readers and viewers to fill them with their own lives. Scenarios can thus be reflected in which—as in our dreams and reflections—images find resonance through images.
