Each bed symbolizes a fragile balance between trust, safety and the unknown.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBetween 2008 and 2016, Magnum photographer \u003cb\u003eBieke Depoorter\u003c\/b\u003e traveled through Russia, the United States, and Egypt, asking random people if she could spend the night in their homes. Day after day, different people prepared a bed for her - on air mattresses, couches, carpets, on the ground, in living rooms, or kitchens. A decade later, she happened upon the hundreds of images she had taken of these beds, which were never intended for publication, and wondered if she had been collecting evidence. This book is the compelling result.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBieke Depoorter\u003c\/b\u003e earned a master's degree in photography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent in 2009.
