Rachel Green and Seth Sexton | Hypnagogic Jerk
March 31 – May 30, 2014
Hypnagogic Jerk is a multi-media look at the processes involved in falling asleep. Artists Rachel Green and Seth Sexton are exploring the mind’s submission to the process of sleep and the physical body’s resistance to it. They are also exploring the realm of consciousness, the realm of dreams, and the interpretation of reality. Green and Sexton use movement to express the ways that these realms interact with each other in the moments before sleep paralysis. The gallery installation included guest artists, live performances, and an original sound score written by Salo.
