Abraham Poincheval lived inside a rock for another project. He's made a name for himself by living inside things. "I say to myself, hold on, what is this object really?... Instead of distancing yourself and removing oneself from it, let's go inside and see what is really happening." Very rock and roll!

The specially made rock had a cut out space inside for him to live in. He could breathe and eat soup and dried meats while he was in there.
