In Insomnia, Antoine d'Agata presents a series of nightscapes and nocturnal portraits which resulted from chance encounters. He describes his work as fulfilling 'the need to record, not as a deliberate act, but as a flat pattern of regular and extreme experiences. A practice inseparable from a particular way of looking at life, where the risk, the desire, the unconscious remains the essential elements. No moral attitude there, no judgment, but the need to explore some universes, share them through, without any precautions... It is a passage to the act of writing, to the verge of extinction, enjoyment and death.'
