ABOUT THE ARTWORK

PROCOPIUS OF CAESAREA I Anno Domini 542 Original Artwork Mixed Media Cardstock; 21 x 29.7 cm Greek historian Procopius of Caesarea linked delirious hallucinations with insomnia and coma as early as AD 542. He believed that people who suffer from hallucinations are excited whilst sleepwalking. Procopius claimed that victims often experience disturbing omens and visions of a supernatural being human form (sometimes a headless man) who would touch them, thus passing the disease. He also stated that victims of delirium do not feel any pain and are therefore lucky. From a medical point of view, beside all the nonsense, his observations from AD 542 originate long-standing theories about sleep disorders which in extreme cases cause hallucinations.
