Tilda Swinton has reprised one of her
more unusual roles - sleeping in a glass box.
The Beach actress, who is known for both arthouse and mainstream
films, is performing her one-person piece at the Museum of Modern Art in New
York.
The
Moonrise Kingdom star began presenting the work, which is called The Maybe.
In The Maybe, 52-year-old Swinton lies sleeping in a glass
box for the day.
The exhibit will change locations within the museum every time
Swinton performs.
There is no published schedule for the piece, which will be
staged six or so more times this year.
Swinton first performed the piece at the Serpentine Gallery in
London in 1995. Her early collaborator was acclaimed sculptor and installation
artist Cornelia Parker.
In 1996, the British star performed it in the Museo Barracco in
Rome, this time without Parker's involvement.
Swinton won an Oscar in 2008 for best supporting actress for her
role in legal drama Michael Clayton, which also starred George Clooney, Tom
Wilkinson and Sydney Pollack.
