Slumber was a performance/installation: whenever it was shown, the artist lived in the gallery, weaving during the day and sleeping with an EEG machine recording her Rapid Eye Movement (REM) at night. The REM is an analogue to Antoni’s dreams, and she weaves this pattern into the blanket that covers her bed while she sleeps. In this piece, an uneasy truce exists between contemporary medical technology, ancient myths of weaving and the mysterious world of dreams.

the journalists who stayed behind in northern gaza to report on atrocities like decomposed babies in hospital beds and patients who had been bulldozed in their tents by the idf and skeletons in the streets—now starving on camera, even as they continue to report.

the doctors who stayed behind in every single hospital and got sniped, kidnapped and tortured for their efforts. the director of al-shifa whose hands were broken and was forced to crawl on all fours. the doctors of al-amal and al-nasser hospital who were stripped and bound and beaten.

is there anything worse than watching people who are brave and conscientious and principled punished for it? people who are determined to do their duty until their last minute standing? is there anything like this, watching them waste away at their posts for five months straight?
