Press release of Roberto Chabet's 'Sleepwalk', published in The Philippine Star on 11 April 2004. The two simultaneous exhibitions were held at Finale Art Gallery and West Gallery, SM Megamall from 30 March - 11 April 2004.

Excerpt:

The exhibition features 'objects and images in open-ended interjection - a length of red yarn hanging from a rusty hook, sand in tiny shadow boxes, a series of old photos of a parachute jump, an actual white parachute, a chewed-up book, harmonicas, red neon arrows, and the sawed-off remains of a 24 ft dug-out.'

'Sleepwalk explores the estrangement of object and subject, the momentary defection from reality when objects are dislocated from their familiar context. It examines the lapses in the quotidian, the waking dream, the sleepwalk, the psychic gaps in the everyday that are best left unfilled for art to haunt and inhabit.'
