The Things We Sleep On is an installation that features a sleeping space made of beds where I had conversations with people, capturing images of these moments in unconventional places like streets and other public spaces. It is a spatial collage that challenges traditional assumptions around sleep. By creating a space that provokes thoughts about beds and their associated ideas, this spatial collage reveals the outcomes of the research conversations while offering space for new dialogue to take place. It intends to undercover many stories across the borders of what is usually not included in design practice by focusing on the bed.
The Things We Sleep On is the outcome of a year-long research project that includes several personal and communal archives. The final installation only consists of a small part of the information collected through photography, drawing, interviewing, and writing.
