Name: Somniculus
Released: 2017-02-14
Duration: 15 min

Filmed inside a series of empty museum galleries across Paris, Somniculus (the Latin word for “light sleep”) articulates the tension between the lives of dead objects and the living world that surrounds them. Artefacts from museums of ethnography, archaeology and natural sciences are all presented in their existing cultural context as the surviving objects of human interest.
