Journey to Morning

Journey to morning is an installation by Canberra artists Blaide Lallemand and Hilary Cuerden-Clifford. This work explores a universal aspect of human existence, sleep, which cuts across age, gender and cultural background.
The subjects were photographed over the course of a night, with the camera placed directly above them and each exposure lasting for thirty minutes. The individual series of images have been subsequently translated into moving sequences (with the assistance of artist Christopher Fulham), playing on separate screens. The sleepers are both vulnerable and unassailable, in their own worlds and yet visible to us, the viewers; we are conscious that this is an experience we humans all share, even though it is when we are asleep that
we are – perhaps – most unique, most ourselves.
