Series of infrared films and photographs featuring subjects identifying as men. They are filmed in their bedrooms throughout the night, in single long takes, while asleep. Portrait photographs are taken the following morning and accompany the videos. The series focuses on sleep as one of the most vulnerable states of our existence and vulnerability itself as a way to emancipate masculinity from the roles and ideas that patriarchy have been imposing on it for centuries. The first video in the series was a self-portrait.
