Alessia Nastase

I am a multimedia artist from Paris specializing in installation works that transform personal experiences into shared spaces for reflection. In my thesis installation, Clinical Chaos, I examine the psychological consequences of chronic sleep deprivation. The project grew out of my own struggles with sleep in a world shaped by digital dependence and capitalist ideas of productivity, where sleep is treated as a commodity rather than a basic human right. In my installation, personal objects like pill bottles and digital devices are suspended along with fragmented monologues. These objects give physical form to something that is often invisible: the emotional and mental toll of exhaustion. Clinical Chaos asks viewers to reflect on their own relationship with sleep and to question how modern life has redefined well-being. By materializing this invisible weight, I hope to spark a conversation about reclaiming sleep as a right, not a privilege.
