SLEEPING SELFIE BEAUTIES

Manja Ebert
May 26 – Jun 14, 2017

Perform live. Always on. This is the motto of modern society.

Our protagonists actively frame themselves on camera to perform one of the last private, unconscious and un-surveiled act in modern society – their own sleep.

An uncontrolled insight into their rooms and private life, Sleepingsquad is a multi-channel video installation which processes live-stream video of people sleeping on social media.

Manja Ebert is a Berlin based media artist working in the field of video and installation.
Her works engage a discourse of popular culture, examining the audiovisual representation of pop stars and self-promotion concepts of young people on the Internet.
