Perhaps it is the remnant fear of the dark, or maybe it is because of the well-known song “voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir”. Sleeping with someone seems to be the object of great desire. But for me, sleeping with someone is overrated.

What if waking up with someone was one of the most intimate and sincere acts one could perform?

Perhaps, to fall asleep, we can pretend to be accompanied by a television, a radio, a cuddly toy. But how can you feel accompanied when you wake up in an empty bed?

Personally, I pick up my phone. I browse endlessly on instagram.

For Waking up together, I will wake up every morning with a different person. It will be an intimate performance where we will use technology to share the moment between dream and reality, real moments, far from Hollywood glamour. To open our eyes together and look at another person before starting the day.
