yawn! Photographer Bernd Hagemann spent six years clicking Shanghai residents in their most peaceful moments | A German photographer has spent six years taking photographs of Chinese people sleeping in weird positions.
Bernd Hagemann moved to China in 2002, and since then he regularly takes to the streets of Shanghai to find extreme nappers to add to his photograph collection.
He divides the groups into three categories hardsleepers, softsleepers and groupsleepers and he has more than 600 photographs at www.sleepingchinese.com.
Hardsleepers are able to fall asleep anywhere on any surface, softsleepers need something a little more comfortable and groupsleepers sleep with people around them, be it friends, family or complete strangers.
The photographer explains on his website, "At every corner in Shanghai, you can discover people that either are napping in the strangest position." |
