The Sleeping Fool

Cecil Collins

The Sleeping Fool 1943

Art museum security guards spend their days in uniform, speaking quietly or not at all, surrounded by works of irreplaceable art.

It may look easy, but the job requires a stressful degree of responsibility, poise, and silence. Some guards may begin to feel trapped inside their own thoughts, or even inside a painting. The Sleeping Fool presents the stories, dreams and thoughts of those who work behind the walls of an art gallery.

All the cameras have left for another war

Todas as câmaras partiram para outra guerra

Aqueles que sabiam o que se passava aqui

têm que dar lugar àqueles que sabem pouco.

E menos que pouco

E até tão pouco quanto nada.

Those who knew
what was going on here
must give way to
those who know little.

Wislawa Szymborska
