BIO
Melanie Absolon makes texts and images that trace and project psychological impressions as they both disrupt and constitute the order of 'everyday life'. Her work is concerned with the Unconscious of everyday reality and the (dis)ordering effects of dreams, memories and everyday objects.

She makes drawings, films, bibliographies and 'interactive' multi-media work. This practice is drawn from readings of psychoanalytical theory, literature and film and much of it involves the participation and collaboration of others.

"Still Warm" Everyday Art Project- please contribute


I am currently developing an art project that is based on digital photographs taken by people of their beds and pillows first thing in the morning - while (as the title suggests) they are 'still warm'.
My aim is to collect over a hundred of these photographs in order to stage an exhibition/database about 'waking up'.
I am therefore calling (in a pleading way) for submissions.
If you would like to contribute/help, please email me a photograph (preferably 1000px although smaller is ok) to misses@yeeking.net. My only requirement is that the photo is taken while your bed is literally still warm with the time and date of your snap.
It would only take a few minutes and your anonymity will be protected if you so wish.

This will be be part of a larger art practice-based research project about the way people relate to everyday objects and spaces. This involves making drawings, films, bibliographies, databases and much of it involves the participation and collaboration of others.

Thanks ever so much for your attention

Melanie.
