An artist in Tasmania's main city of Hobart in Australia recently decided to have himself buried underneath a road for 72 hours as part of an art project. A hole large enough for a standard container was excavated in the roadway and the specially adapted unit was then lowered into the ground. The man had water as well as a bucket for personal use, with an air hose ensuring that he would not suffocate. After being lowered into place, the top of the container was then surfaced and vehicle traffic was once more allowed to use the stretch of Macquarie Street.The road works have been paid for by the art event organisers. The idea of having an artist under a road was initially planned for an event in Germany around 10 years ago but was not able to be carried out due to health and safety legislation.
