It began on April 13 2011 to be specific. It’s a story of a concrete and cement bed installed on the corner of Bezuidenhout and Viljoen streets in Troyeville, Joburg.
Perhaps this is something artist Lesley Perkes would appreciate. Her exhibition, The Troyeville Bedtime Story, is delightful and almost dreamy, with only a mild hint of dreariness.

Seeing a dismal platform of concrete bricks at this spot, Perkes suddenly had the brainwave to create something that would transform the area into something worthwhile and engaging; namely a concrete bed designed and moulded by concrete form expert Damian Grivas.


Perkes' mission was to create something that would be a point of engagement between the environment and the people coming into contact with it. Friends, lovers, playful children and objects on site have all been recorded as part of a progressing story by photographer Johannes Dryer.

The bed sports a cement headboard cast from a mould of a life-size original. The base had been adapted from a pre-existing brick structure.

The artwork's success lies in its ability to make you feel comfortable with how you perceive it.

It will be nice if you take photo's of you on the bed and post them here to tell your bed time story

Happy caching
