monochrom: Premature Burial As A Field Trial For Near Death Activities

==========================

http://www.monochrom.at/polytheism/

==========================

The people present will have an opportunity to be buried alive in a coffin for 
fifteen minutes. Volunteers will be able to experience a semi-traumatic 
situation and possibly get in close contact with various gods and/or afterlives.
As a framework program there will be lectures about the history of the science 
of determining death and the medical cultural history of "buried alive". People 
buried alive not only populate the horror stories of past centuries, but also 
countless reports in specialized medical literature. The theme of unintentional 
resurrection by grave robbers also runs through forensic protocols. Even in the 
19th century it was said that every tenth person was buried alive.

February 7, 2007. Blackwood Gallery, Mississauga/University Toronto, Canada.
