In this ongoing body of work, Shearer sources digital images, largely dating from the late 1990s and early 2000s, found online. The exhibition develops and diversifies the subject of sleep and its associations—death among them—in Shearer’s practice, and likewise ponders the power of photographic images and their circulation to unsettle established notions of presentation and propriety.
