"保護以色列的，必不打盹，也不睡覺。​"

​詩篇121章4節

 



作為人類，我們每天必須工作和睡覺。



在日常生活中，我們面對著兩種不同的壓力。
有時候，壓力可以令人做夢；或者，我們可能會因此患上失眠症。
有時，夢境也會影響我們的實際生活；
人們可能會受到在夢境中所出現的情境或事物影響。



壓力如何影響我們的夢境？
我們可以在夢中意識到多少壓迫感？



“睡眠”是意識與潛意識之間的一扇“門”。

當我們通過這扇“門”，便進入了潛意識的狀態中。



什麼是現實？什麼是假象？我們卻不能輕易區分。



本質上，睡眠是個人的和私人的經驗。
在這個項目中，睡眠不再“私有化”。
經過與一系列的人進行面談，得到他們的准許，
記錄個別的睡眠模式及夢境內容；
把這些個人的經驗與其他人分享。



透過攝影及行為藝術，
夢境序列的身體反應被檔案和重新定義。

“Israel’s Protector does not get tired. He never sleeps.”

Psalm 121:4 (Easy-to-Read Version)



As human beings, we all have to sleep and work every day.



In our daily life, we face two different kinds of stress.
Sometimes, stress can create dreams, or we may suffer from insomnia.
Sometimes dreams can affect our real life and people may be influenced by what has happened in their dream.

​

How does stress affect our dreams?
How much of the oppression can we sense in our dreams?



“Sleep” is a “gate” between the conscious and the unconscious.
When we pass through this “gate”, we enter the status of unconsciousness.



What is reality and what is illusion? We cannot easily distinguish.



Essentially, sleep is a personal and private experience.
In this project, sleep is no more privatize.
Through a series of interviews with a range of people, I recorded, with their consent, their individual patterns of sleep that often included dreams in order to document this personal experience and to share it with others.



The physical response to dream sequences have been documented and re-defined through the process of photography and performance art.
