In their "bubbles", the artists pose "fundamental questions about our ability to enter into contact with others when barriers are erected".
But wearing a fishbowl is not for the faint-hearted, Mr Manini told the Telegraph.
"It's a bit like wearing a reverse diving bell," he said, adding that it took years to perfect to avoid leaks around the neck with each bowl and suit moulded to the individual performer.

This probably deserves a strike by the PETA commandos.

Something's off here. I found the dimensions of a 3-gallon fish bowl (largest standard size). It would never get past my nose. Yes, I admit I have a big head, but it's way out of the running for headgear.
