in between dreams: an hour of lost sleep by jas levell

Kodak Gold 200, 35mm
"This is part of my art A Level project on ‘sleep’- I’ve been experimenting with the overarching title ‘in between dreams’, aiming to explore the experience of insomnia and the blurred lines of reality and dreams when drifting in and out of sleep. I’ve shot on Kodak Gold a couple of times through the development of this project; I love the golden haze & dreamy look it gives to my photos! I’ve also found it to be a great film for experimenting with lighting & long exposure shots, while still maintaining the dream-like quality in colour palette. One thing I thought interesting in the idea of insomnia and (varying levels of) consciousness was the clocks going forward- the loss of one hour’s sleep should be almost insignificant, and yet it represents our world getting lighter for longer, and new sleep patterns. ‘An hour of lost sleep’ could occur at any time of the year, in any sense of insomnia, yet this particular hour when the clocks go forward seems to hold an importance in our society and the way we approach sleep, dreams, and consciousness."
