Artist Nicolas Bruno has suffered from sleep paralysis for 7 years, a terrifying condition in which he is paralyzed while experiencing vivid nightmares in his dream state. During an episode, one may hear, feel, or see things that are not there. To cope, Nicolas began to recreate his nightmares into photo collages, casting himself as the victim as well as the figures that torment him.
