Sleep Time is a documentary photographic series in the works. Started in 2017, the series portrays homeless people in different countries of the world such as, Argentina, Germany, Brazil, Canada, USA, Portugal and Spain.
How was your last night's sleep? In Sleep Time I chose sleep, a restorative act and a moment that we are most vulnerable, to awaken reflections and illuminate one of the extreme faces of the fragility of our contemporary society.
Many reasons lead a person to live on the streets: social inequality, wars, political crises, drug addiction, psychological imbalances, disbelief in the social model... Questions that reflect, in part, the thinking of Brazilian geographer and historian Milton Santos, who said in a 1981 interview: "The crisis of the city not only reflect but also summarizes all crises: cultural crise, moral crisis, political crisis…that this urban crisis occurs because the city is no longer good”.
It's urgent the need to rethink the model of organization and social values. People are not invisible.
The 150 millions of homeless people across the world are shining symbols of our human and social fragility that must not be erased. To ignore them is to lose the opportunitybuild a better society.
Behind each person portrayed in Sleep Time, there is a life story in which the fine line was crossed.
