Come for a nap, draw a line and spend time with horizontal curiosities / bring a pillow or Sandman’s dust. Blue drinks served with beauty and difficulty of being.
Sleep-philia is a horizontal study, where the beauty and difficulty of being exhales through a drawn line. A horizontal plane is a space of celebration for wisdom of sensitivities and the nervous system.
Rooted in neuroaesthetic methodologies and explorations of invasiveness, the work has been developed in collaboration with schools and applied learning methods. Its development is guided by artistic research in neuro- and ecopsychology, touching on themes of dysregulation and sensory perception.
The installation unfolds across ten planks, ten pencils, salt, sugar, and the logics of release and horizontal situations. Tracing the contours of being and time—whether experienced collectively or in solitude, in ways that remain dysfunctional and non-aesthetic. The work gestures that celebration can be difficult like a drawn outline and being. Rest emerges as a fundamental gift of existence—a subtle yet profound form of celebration.
