In a quest to confront life in an extreme situation, French performing artist\u00a0Abraham Pointcheval<\/strong>Abraham Pointcheva<\/strong>\u00a0has tried a couple of experiments to discover the unexplored situations in life. In the past, he\u00a0immured himself for a week inside a bookstore in Marseille and also got himself buried in a deep hole\u00a0in front of the Town Hall of the city of Tours.<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n This time the artist has tried something entirely unimaginable. Abraham Pointcheval decided to spend two whole weeks inside a\u00a0hollowed-out carcass of a bear that has been positioned in the center of the hall at\u00a0Mus\u00e9e de la Chasse et de la Nature<\/a>\u00a0in Paris.<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n Similar to a bear’s hibernating nature during the winter months, Pointcheval decided to go under hibernation mode for 2 weeks, starting on 1st April 2014. He will be staying within a small enclosure which is fully equipped with all the basic necessities including food, water, a charging dock and even a provision to relieve himself. \u00a0Through this experiment, Pointcheval aims at understanding and challenging his physical & mental boundaries while experiencing “animal nature”.<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n The enclosure is equipped with\u00a0surveillance cameras which relays the live image to the visitors \u00a0and also enables them to interact with the\u00a0artist.
