THE ART OF SLEEP (BEIRUT VERSION). 2006-2017
HD video with sound
14'18'' loop
Employing the aesthetic of animated black and white typography, jazzy music and humor, this work explores the international contemporary art market with an insomniac narrator as its guide. Suspended in the space between waking and dreams, the insomniac muses upon the absurdity and futility of the art world, revealing its ubiquitous quality, that is ultimately more frivolous and playful than any critique could grasp.
Commissioned for Fruit of Sleep.
