These photos will then be formed into a large piece of artwork which will be publicly exhibited at a place to be confirmed once completed.

So, what do we need in your photo?

• You need to be asleep, preferably. Which means you’ll need someone else to take the photo (or a REALLY long timer). Pretending to be sleeping is ok, but asleep is better. There is a difference.
• No posed shots. These aren’t glamorous, manicured shots of brushed hair, smooth skin and satin sheets. We want you, as you are, in your space. Doesn’t matter who you are, where you live, or how you sleep (or sleep with!)
• No photos of unconsenting friends please. By all means give them this invitation to contribute and help them take a photo if they wish, but we can’t accept anything that doesn’t have the subject’s consent.
• It can be an up close or distant shot. But we need to be able to make you out fairly clearly. Colour or black and white are fine.
