Fifteen Restless Nights is a multi-media installation that incorporates large digital photographs of rumpled motel-room beds accompanied by music and an original soundtrack.
This exhibition explores Derek Besant’s impressions of fifteen nights spent over the course of one year in different motel rooms in different cities. Each morning Besant would photograph the unmade beds and record the rumpled sheets and pillows in what he calls “metaphoric landscapes”. The digital photos show rumpled sheets and pillows, but they represent the “distances of intimacy” between each of us.
