Dusk falls on a cold winter evening, and five characters awaken and dress and make their way out into nighttime New York City. In Doug Aitken’s sleepwalkers, these characters provide a blueprint for the citya living, breathing mechanism fueled by the desires and ambitions of its inhabitants, who, in turn, nourish and are nourished by the city’s energy, breadth, and depth. This book, which expands on the ideas raised by the film, contains essays and conversations between Aitken and a variety of artists, architects, writers, and performers about different elements of city lifefrom the lit signage of Times Square to a taxi-driver’s-eye view of the streets. The book, like the artwork, explores the intersection of ideas with the constant flow of life and energy that is New York.A collaboration between The Museum of Modern Art and the public art organization Creative Time, sleepwalkers premiered as a projection on the facades of the Museum’s building in midtown Manhattan. 176 pp.; 280 illus.
