Tilda Swinton, MoMA, 'The Maybe' [PHOTOS & VIDEO] Actress Sleeps in Glass Box on Random Days at New York City Museum, Twitter Reacts to Performance Art

Oscar-winning Scottish actress, Tilda Swinton, is currently performing her performance art piece, "The Maybe," at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City randomly throughout the year. The performance is mainly the 52-year-old actress lying in a transparent glass box for hours on end, seemingly sleeping in the museum. Some celebrities and onlookers have responded to the exhibit in humorous ways on Twitter. Swinton has performed this piece before in 1995 at London's Serpentine Gallery and at a museum in Rome. The MoMA has not publicized the project nor is there a set schedule for the actress to come in and "perform."

Tilda Swinton was on exhibit sleeping in a glass box at the MoMA. It was a sophisticated reflection of how tired and trapped viewers felt.
