“Suffering form lonely nights? Phone the Dreamkeeper. She’s in town for forty days. Wandering through the streets with her sleeping mat wearing her star dress and Moon Shoes. If you make an appointment she’ll come to you. For twelve hours she’ll stay by your side. As long as you sleep, she’ll watch. In the morning she’ll pick up her mat and leave again. Don’t ask what will happen in the period in between. It all depends upon your dream”, wrote lneke Schwartz about Dreamkeeper.
While the person was sleeping the artist made a piece of art with something found in the house. There was no more contact afterwards.
Beginning in Amsterdam, the project was continued in other cities. The experience was shared solely between the artist and her client. Nevertheless the viewer can create his own fantasy of it when looking at the series of photo’s Framis made of the sleeper during her waking sessions with up to seven hours exposure time. Petite mort quotidienne this series is called, which is: the small daily death called sleep.
