With
the Slumber filter, images on Instagram can be transformed into milky veiled
illusions.The
state between waking and sleeping has collectively inscribed itself as a
nebulous blur. The
existential dichotomy of sleeping and not sleeping, which is brought together
in the state of slumber, encompasses far more aesthetic approaches and artistic
forms of confrontation than the strategies of fogging. Sleep and slumber touch
on questions about the body in space, sensitize us to everyday environmental
materials such as light, and affect rituals and life rhythms. Our individual
sleep is not detached from social structures. How and when we sleep, as well as
techniques of falling asleep, are deeply rooted in cultural processes and they
are terretoritum of biopolitical conflicts. Against this background, the
conditions of sleep change parallel to social change. New ways of life generate
other possibilities of sleeping and this in turn changes the spaces and places where
we can let ourselves fall, dream and escape from self-control.

The
exhibition BED MANNERS brings together contemporary positions that take up metaphors
and states of slumber. Materials such as mattresses, body states such as lying and
spaces such as the hotel room appear in new contexts. References to surrealist strategies
and echoes of prehistoric camps and shelters are taken up as well as discourses
that question sleep as a purely anthropological category. Isn’t an archive something
else than a bedroom for things and how does a butterfly exhausted from death struggle
regenerate?
