B.E.D.

THIS IS ON GOING FOR THE DURATION OF 2010:

I’m not sure about this project, really. I’m actually terrified by it. It might be interesting though, so, I’m going to put a call out:

I want to sleep in your bed for a night, with you in it.

I think this is very difficult for me and it might be a difficult thing for you also. I don’t consider myself a light sleeper, but I’ve always found that I’m particularly aware of the person I’m sleeping with. In terms of this project, what’s important is the possibility that two people can spend a night together, in a bed.

Here is a photo of my bed

Of course your bed will look different.

To achieve this there needs to be a leap of faith, I need to trust you and you need to trust me. Everyone is valid.

(As a kid I used to share a bedroom with my brother. I was told that we would sleep talk to each other sometimes. I find this amazing!)

Anyway, if this interests you then email me: charliesofo (at) gmail dot com

Thankyou and goodnight.
