This project explores the poetic and performative potential of sleep as a terrain for defining identity and reinterpreting self-knowledge. Having become the apartment of a stranger-sleeper, the exhibition space embodies the ramifications of sleep by transforming itself into the image of a fragmented narrative. Visitors are invited to explore the space and reconstruct the course of an improbable night through the objects and traces of events.

​

This installation contains videos from a sleep documentation of Éric Forget. His body movements were captured using an infrared camera.
