Somnambulists, MA Galerie, Paris, 1993
Hidden under loose piles of blankets, bladders fill and deflate with the irregular patterns (and audible sighs) of a sleeper breathing. The breathing patterns are based on one-minute segments taken from a chart of Jacob’s breathing pattern, made at a sleep lab during four hours of monitored sleep. While most of the sleep breathing segments are even, some show the irregularities of disturbed sleep.
