STWST48x4 SLEEP
Sleep Residency / 31.8. - 9.9.
NAOMI CREDE

And what about voices without bodies and bodies without voices?
Are you feeling tired? Drained? Exhausted?

Naomi Credé is currently working on a research project focused on bodily presence, voice and loss of control within surrounding architecture and immaterial spaces. The research often culminates in text based sound pieces and immersive installations, forming different collective listening and nap sessions. For STWST48x4, this is particularly focused on the ways in which sleep is commodified and the use of language and disembodied female sounding voices within sleep and relaxation apps as forms of soft coercion in order to prescribe specific kinds of wellness and bodily control.

We don’t only face sleep on a physiological level. It is a phenomenon that’s deeply connected to our history and our culture. Sleep has taken various forms in terms of light, work, sex, morality, sound, body and human understanding. Sleep is also a physiological phenomenon. It refers to various abilities and aspects of the body, which are expressed in rhythms, hormones, fluctuations in electrical activity, changes in the activity of organs and body systems, among other things.
