Sleep

Description

Sleep statement, Catherine Elwes, 1985. (Source, pdf Rewind)

"8 minutes watching my son Bruno Muellbauer sleep.

I wanted to represent the intensity of the maternal gaze, the constant surveilance that a mother keeps up in the face of her infant's fragile existence. There is a sense of wonderment. Never before had I considered the simple act of breathing, the most fundamental manifestation of life." Catherine Elwes (Source, website, Lux Online)
