90 Minutes Power Nap
90', Stereo, 2024

 90 Minutes Power Nap is a film created from the ASMR phenomenon, which stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. The film aims to translate and expand sensations typically experienced individually into a collective context.

The term ASMR originated on an online forum where users were trying to give a name to the feelings of well-being they experienced in their daily lives, such as when their hair was cut or when a book was read to them in a calm tone. Previously, these sensations were described as mental orgasms or brain tingling, and were often not taken seriously. However, since 2008, the search for and production of these relaxing videos has grown exponentially. These soft, textured sounds, very close to microphones, usually provoke soothing bodily sensations, convey a sense of intimacy, and have a calming effect, making them highly sought after by people who suffer from sleep disorders and anxiety.
