The Sleep of Reason (digital print 50x70cm/2017, photo: Susi Krautgartner)

“The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters“ is the most famous etching by Francisco de Goya (ca. 1797-1799, sheet 43 of the series Caprichos). The work “The Sleep of Reason“ ties in with Goya‘s work. A sleeping person lies on a desk, her head on the laptop, next to it a dream diary. The monsters and vices of the night have disappeared, bringing a strange emptiness tothe minimalist daytime scene.
