Hypnotic State of TV Viewers

I'm not sure what to make of this or what to say. The author's intent was observational rather than analytical. Check out the photographs in the links below.

Dormant is about an alien state, one that is commonly visited but not often seen. These people are not actively growing, but still protected inside of their houses, their beds, and their TVs. The quiet and submissive state would regularly indicate sleep, but instead we are confronted with views of people with light in their eyes. What we find is a moment of intimacy between the viewers and subjects through means that are typically distancing.—Michelle Norris
