To myself, sleep can be considered art if they were just viewed in still images. But it would be boring if I were to find myself watching an entire sleep session. Almost anything can find itself as a subject of art. The Andy Warhol movie and even watching Tilda Swinton (but not in an art exhibition) can more or less be used as a study of how one person’s sleep cycle would be like, since not everyone sleeps alike. They can even suffer sleeping disorders if they are evident, and action must be taken to treat it. But a movie of an entire sleep cycle wouldn’t as appealing as Andy Warhol would expect it to be. I wonder if Tilda Swinton didn’t mind being viewed in an art exhibition and didn’t feel any kind of invasion of privacy before, during, and after. “The Sleepers” would be a different story since the homeless have themselves different strategies of surviving from what the ended up losing. The situation for the homeless would be picking a place where to sleep and how, and some of those places can end up being unusual places like subway stations, park benches, etc.
