Sleepwalk (Partial)

Part of Roberto Chabet's installation for his two simultaneous exhibitions of the same title, 'Sleepwalk', at Finale Art Gallery and West Gallery, SM Megamall from 30 March - 11 April 2004.

Excerpt from the exhibition press release:
'The exhibition features 'objects and images in open-ended interjection - a length of red yarn hanging from a rusty hook, sand in tiny shadow boxes, a series of old photos of a parachute jump, an actual white parachute, a chewed-up book, harmonicas, red neon arrows, and the sawed-off remains of a 24 ft dug-out.'

''Sleepwalk' explores the estrangement of object and subject, the momentary defection from reality when objects are dislocated from their familiar context. It examines the lapses in the quotidian, the waking dream, the sleepwalk, the psychic gaps in the everyday that are best left unfilled for art to haunt and inhabit.'
