I have another post from my London trip today. When I visited the Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House, I found this interesting artwork located in the center of the Fountain Court. It depicted a woman sleeping inside this glass box and was complete with breathing sounds and dreamlike music.
I did some research to find out more about this artwork and learned that it was part of 25th anniversary celebration and is called either "The Spell" or "The Dream". The artist is Tai Shani.
I took this close-up shot to see the sleeping lady's face. Here is a quote describing the piece: "Drawing on fairytale archetypes of enchanted sleep, the work comments on society's 'curse' of capitalism and necessity of imagining new ways of being". Interesting idea.

Interesting idea, for sure.
Hmmm...interesting idea. What did you think about the breathing sounds?
She needs more air, she is turning blue! Reminds me of the saints in a box in Italian and Greek churches.
