 -24\n\nAbout the Exhibit\nThrough photographs\, audio recordings and video
 \, Robert Knight's Sleepless examines the contradiction between the expect
 ations about sleep and it's nocturnal reality. Knight sets up his view cam
 era as his subjects prepare for bed. The room darkens for sleep and the le
 ns of the camera is left open. What transpires in the next several hours i
 s captured on film and in audio recording. The resulting images\, saturate
 d with color\, are a combination of sharp focus (objects in the room which
  do not move) accompanied by the ghost like blurring of the subject as the
  restlessness of sleep is documented. Unusual colors result from the inter
 action of the light &ndash\; from outside penetrating the window treatment
 s or from sources within the room\, a night light or even a watch. The aud
 io\, a cacophony of sirens\, horns\, dogs barking\, people talking\, cars 
 speeding\, is anything but soothing or relaxing.  &ldquo\;My photographs a
 nd videos reveal a state of restlessness through ethereal and translucent 
 bodies which are captured during long-exposure night time shots. The resul
 tant images are nighttime narratives - stories of our nights sleep which s
 uggest a contemporary sleep crisis in our society.&rdquo\; \n\n\nAbout the

 nd Architecture from Yale University in 1995 before going on to complete a
