This book features the artist Taey Iohe and seven writers giving accounts of their sleeping experiences, and their thoughts about the phenomenon of sleep. Taey's art project is a photographic series, video installation and performance project about the spatiality of sleep, which brings restoration and transformation. Even after a long night, when morning comes, nothing has changed - in that absence, there are untranslated words of pain and agony. In those words, there are non-linguistic elements like feeling, action and sensation. This text book invites readers to imagine what has been absent in the space of wakefulness.
“Night times of being a comfortable home to each other through sleep. I have memories of
building a home, by stacking those puzzle pieces on top of each other, one by one; that place
of our own, to which I can't return again. I slowly realised that my insomnia has been caused
by an empty space, which held lost fragments of memories from that house, which used to
offer homely sleep.”
- Excerpt from 3, Yusin Jeon
“The bed is a political space, where fights and conflicts happen; it is the place where we confirm each other’s feelings. It did not take a long time to distinguish what is truth and what is a lie between us.”
- Excerpt from Rectangular Furniture, Rooted to the Ground, Hye Jeong Moon
