When living on the road you could end up sleeping anywhere. It amazed me how many places people had a problem with you just sleeping in (for example parks, benches, stairways, train stations, fields, beaches, old buildings). The fact that someone just wants to curl up and sleep there, away from noise; i.e to lie down and not wake up till morning suggests that you pose no threat or harm. But there seems to be a taboo or fear of allowing people to sleep in peace, like it's some kind of huge crime. With this in mind I made it a mission to sleep in public and often funny places in order to observe peoples reactions and talk to them about why they thought it was so terrible. This made for some interesting situations, and more often than not the people became friendly and realised there wasn't really a problem at all, just thinking what they were told to think by the Daily Telegraph and ITV. I mean, if it was a drunk person it would probably be tolerated or laughed at...These pictures show just a few of those places. Admittedly their awful photos but I was probably pretty tired at the time. Let's sleep where we want! A sleeper's revolution!
