Soporifics Anonymous
An immersive performance and archive by Thy Lab
Before viewing, prepare for an experiment in collective surrender. This 8-hour cinematic environment presents seven films curated not for narrative, but for soporific potency. Each work functions as a calibrated dose of cinematic sedative.
The original live performance transformed private viewing into a shared, public ritual. Audience members became both observers and participants in a real-time portrait of fading consciousness—their gradual surrender to drowsiness completing the artwork.
This archive preserves the complete playlist as an ongoing experiment. You are now invited to continue this investigation of sleep's elusive boundary, wherever you are. The struggle between the films' sedative pull and your own wakefulness remains the essential tension of the work.
