The prints prepared for “Counting Sleep” edition
curators: Sarie Nijboer & Vincent Schier

Berlin 2018

The material prepared for „Counting Sleep” is based on earlier works concerning sleep disorders. The series We Came From Beyond (2012), Jetlag (2013), Sleep Disorders (2013–15), contain meanings related to changes occurring in the times of late capitalism. Sleep, therefore, is something more than human natural need to regenerate—it is a state when we disconnect from the outsourced factory of services. Sleep Disorders (edition 2018) presents entities that surround us together with the metaphysical properties attributed to them, as deformed materiality. Desaturated, inhabited by a sense of undercooled, Sokolnicka’s work are condensed images of sleep and its disorders, whose dreamy synthaxas evoke something disturbing about the cognitive processes.
