SLEEP

  • Emily Bailey

From static cloudiness and peripheral flashes of light to vivid hypnagogic hallucinations and rich REM dream states, SLEEP explores the architecture of the sleeping mind. SLEEP is an audiovisual painting made from digitised 16mm film and is projection mapped onto a geometrically shaped screen (a pattern regularly seen during altered states of consciousness). The work is the culmination of two years of research into the different stages of sleep and dreaming. The structure is based upon hypnograms from the DREAMS database and the narrative draws upon personal experiences. The soundscape has been created by composer, Capa’s Jump.
