SLEEP IS PRAYER
It is an artistic intervention that disrupts the clock of capitalism by calling on a world beyond space and time. The work asks us to recall the practice of dreaming, to tune into the power of our imagination, to connect to the wisdom of the Earth and our ancestors through an installation of sound, film, sculpture, drawings and performance.
