Vertical Bed for 1 Day Street Sleeping
Artist Jamie O’Shea created this Vertical Bed and the bed was displayed during the Conflux Festival in New York city. Jamie O’Shea walked around the Conflux area with his Vertical Bed in a suitcase, found himself a nice spot, anchored his prostheses above subway vents and used the bed to sleep in an upright position for 40 minute intervals several times in a day. Concealed harnesses ensure that Jamie didn’t fall over. Back and neck supports keep the person comfortable while mirrored sunglasses and sound canceling headphones block out the rest of the world. And just in case it rains there’s an umbrella.
