I don’t think sleeping is an art form to be honest, seems pretty boring and nothing interesting about it. But if you add the theme was trying to bring awareness of poverty and homeless people then it does make sense. If you’re trying to bring an end to poverty you could use the technique that Sergio Clavijo did which I think was pretty smart, especially when he used the old homeless people clothes instead of using new clothes because if he would of used new clothes it would not have made any sense. But the whole thing about that actor Tilda Swinton sleeping in a glass box in MoMa was pretty weird, I don’t know how someone can take that as an art form. Seems like a crazy idea someone thinks of when they’re really bored and don’t know what else to do. I don’t really get how that is considered something that has to do with art.
