Parasomnia, a story about the slepless and haunted

Posted on July 28, 2012 by bertadp

When sleep refuses to enter your body night after night – then bringing restless nightmares when it does – cracks start to appear in your reality. The world around you slows down or speeds up or twists in surreal ways as your sleep deprived mind tries to cope with its sluggish inability to operate.

That nightmarish blur of real and surreal is captured by Paco Matteo Li Calzi in his video PARASOMNIA. The video’s editing plays with speed and repetition, flashes of light and movement of shadows.
