Reviews
“…photographs of sleeping men, women, and children…are sure to delight art and photography lovers from all walks of life…” ~THE Magazine
“Ted Spagna’s disarmingly intimate photographs of sleeping figures, collected in a posthumous monograph…Sleep at long last retrieves the photographer’s project form obscurity and revives it in all its dreamy glory.” ~OUT Magazine
"An exploration of intimacy poised at the intersection of art and scientific observation, these somehow avoid sinister voyeurism and instead constitute a sensual examination of human vulnerability." ~New Republic
“Where science meets art, a photo book of humans in their most vulnerable state. Spagna is as intrusive as he is inconspicuous; there is an intimacy presented that is both uncomfortable and tender for viewers.” ~Coolhunting.com
“…Spagna photographs capture a plot as it unfolds. It is said that gesture does not lie, and so when we look at each and every frame we find the mind in body as it responds to the travels of the mind and wherefore it goes…” ~Miss Rosen
“All the subjects are psychologically naked as they drift through unconsciousness over the course of the night. Spagna has delicately captured the natural beauty of this most basic of human behavior –completely vulnerable, unclouded by facades and pretenses.” ~Malibu Magazine
“….penetrating insights of portraits taken when we are at our most vulnerable and, perhaps, most ourselves.” ~The Big Think
