[About the project]
‘Night Shifts’ is an arts and science research project by artist Martin Kohout looking at the effect that night shift work can have on an individual, particularly how it impacts their relationships with friends and family. It took place in London over 2016/17.

Additional outcomes include a short film 'Slides' (2017), a book, 'Night Shifter' (2018) and an exhibition, 'Daylight Management' at London's Auto Italia gallery in Bethnal Green.

The project is led by AQNB Productions and has been made possible through a Small Arts Award from the Wellcome Trust.

Finally, we gratefully acknowledge key support from our partners; Russell Foster and his team at the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute, Nuffield Department of Clinical
Neurosciences, University of Oxford, Laurie Heselden and his colleagues at the Southern and Eastern TUC and Tereza Porybná and her colleagues at Czech Centre London.
