French artist Abraham Poincheval will live inside a rock for a week

French performance artist Abraham Poincheval is never short on ideas of how to isolate himself in strange ways. He once lived in a giant plastic bottle as it traveled along the Rhone River. For two weeks, he lived inside a bear sculpture, subsisting on a bear’s diet of worms and beetles. For another project, he spent an entire week underground with a small stack of books, a headlamp, some freeze-dried food, and water.
