Man in a bottle

We previously met performance artist Abraham Poincheval back in 2017 when he sat on a dozen eggs until they hatched.

Now he's enclosed himself in a giant bottle that's floating on the Canal Saint-Denis outside of the Olympic Stadium. His plan is to stay in there for ten days.

"The artist is no stranger to long stays inside unusual and claustrophobic places. In 2014, he lived inside a taxidermied bear for 13 days."

Maybe RFK Jr. should have taken the bear to a taxidermist instead of dumping it in Central Park.

This is the guy NASA should have sent to space in the new Boeing rocket. He could have taught the other astronauts about living in unusual and claustrophobic spaces.

I was about to make a really nasty comment, but you know what? No, let him do his trick! He isn't David Blaine, he doesn't deserve my sarcasm.
