Sleep Starts is the first solo exhibition at Clima by Sacha Kanah (b. 1981 Milan, IT).

Sleep starts concerns an investigation on the ways organic matter can occupy space as it comes together to outline a living organism.

The works on display are holes made in water. They are presented at the height of their growth process as a series of transparent, weightless sculptures formed by a kelp membrane.

Their structure as well as their density has been decided exclusively by the physical and chemical condi- tions of the environment in which they were born; water, understood as a formal archive, is used to gene- rate embryos of bodies and apparatus.
