Life Without Dreams

In a capitalist society, light never fades and labor never slacks. We're all expected to be constantly awake and efficient drivers of profit. Our sleep schedules have been impaired and there's no time for us to dream, let alone think of social change. This half-awake visual poem about sleep deprivation and its impact on the human body and senses is inspired by the author's own personal experiences with insomnia.
