Deep Sleep

A hypnosis-inducing pan-geographic shuttle built on brainwave generating binaural beats, Deep Sleep takes us on a journey through the sound waves of Gaza to travel between different sights of modern ruin. Unable to travel to Palestine, I began to learn autohypnosis for the purpose of bilocating, what results is a journey recorded on a super8mm film from the ruins of an ancient civilization embedded in a modern civilization in ruins (Athens), to the derelict buildings of anonymous sites (Malta) and a site that is post-civilization (the Gaza Strip). The film is an invitation to move from the corporeal self to the cinema space in a collective act of bilocation that transcends the limits of geographical borders, time and space. (Basma Alsharif)
