"Bedtime Stories: Sculptures Reimagined” Book Launch

In Bedtime Stories, Krinke reimages her series of bed sculptures by digitally combining photographs of her prior installations with photographs of liminal spaces the sculptures have never been and would be nearly impossible for them to be found, such as above Lake Superior, overwhelming a gallery at the American Swedish Institute, or on fire in a forest. The resulting images extend the “dream-space” of the sculptures into new settings, offering new daydreams. In addition to the book for sale, a selection of Bedtime Stories images will also be exhibited as framed works for sale.

“My intent was to experience the beds as if in dreams, transported in time and place,” says Krinke about creating the photographic montages in Bedtime Stories. “For a long time, I’ve wanted to physically take and install my bed sculptures in a variety of settings. Digital tools are making it possible in these images . My practices of keeping notebooks and making sculptural books kindled my interest in seeing the bed series transform, as a new subject, into its own book.”

Books available at the launch and at Rosalux.
