I dont know how to feel about Sleep as a form of art, if its just nothing but sleep its boring, the Andy Warhol trailer looked like a joke. Depending on the context it can be art but without any context its uninteresting. In Sergio Clavijos photo The Sleepers, he trades clothes with homeless people and poses sleeping with them. I think a much better idea would be to have a series of photos of homeless people sleeping, that seems more like art to me. I’m not sure what message “The Maybe” was trying to show, a women sleeping in a box isn’t much without a message. Just sleep isn’t doing it for me. I need something else, something to decipher and think about.
