Reading Until I Sleep reflects on the work of designer and publisher Manuel Raeder. His practice unfolds between readers and books, artists and places, bodies and infrastructures, materials and memories, working with objects that bear their histories openly and resist disposability by insisting on the ongoing life of things. The essay brings multiple perspectives into contact with the inequities that determine who can work, rest, make, and be seen; within this landscape, Raeder's practice, like reading and sleep, becomes an act of resistance, an interval that reopens the possibility of relation, autonomy, and care.
