The sleep environment is considered one of the most private spaces for humans, primarily linked to a home. As the main actant of the sleep environment, a bed is usually associated with a comfortable private space: the bedroom. However, when the sleep environment is outside and visible to the public gaze, its function evolves into an urban role. This essay focuses on “beds” out of place, offering a differentiated recognition of rough sleepers. A rough sleeper's bed, as a symbolic reference to the materials placed in the public space, becomes an active part of urban life, a node where new interactions occur. Together with images of discarded mattresses left for public disposal and juxtaposed with the data based on sleep studies, this essay invokes the tension between the public and private domains of sleep. The visual images represent the discomfort of a publicly exposed bed, narrating the rough sleepers' experience: sleeping without the benefit of privacy or security.

没有房间的床：露宿街头

睡眠环境被认为是人类最私密的空间之一，主要与家相关联。作为睡眠环境的主体，床通常与舒适的私人空间联系在一起：卧室。然而，当睡眠环境在室外并为公众视线所见时，其功能就演变为城市角色。这篇文章的重点是“床”不合适，提供对露宿者的差异化识别。一张粗糙的卧铺，作为公共空间材料的象征性参考，成为城市生活的一个活跃部分，一个新的互动发生的节点。连同留给公共处置的废弃床垫的图像，并与基于睡眠研究的数据并列，本文引发了睡眠公共领域和私人领域之间的紧张关系。
