In Sleep

Using a camera programmed to capture only moments of change (movement), a single night of sleep is documented, amounting to roughly 5,000 photographs over the course of 7 hours. In sequential order, these photographs reveal a body shifting in and out of visibility, between active and deep sleep. Two 6’ tall prints, one with the original photos and the other inverted, are displayed side by side. Viewers may use magnifying glasses to investigate the visual patterns of the time sequence. In Sleep was recently shown at the Busan International Design Festival in South Korea and at The Selby Gallery at Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida.
