| The last seconds until death |
What is it about Germans advertising on the internet they want to be killed?
On the heels of the well publicised German cannibal who murdered and ate a victim who had advertised to be killed on the net, a prize-winning German artist has created an uproar by launching a search for a volunteer willing to die for art.
The Times of London newspaper reports that the enfant terrible of the German cultural scene Gregor Schneider is looking for someone whose dying hours will be spent in an art gallery with the public admiring the way the light plays on the flesh of a person gasping for the last breath.
The 39-year-old artist has been concerned with death for much of his career. He gained critical acclaim for a sculpture, Hannelore Reuen, of a dead woman.
He has been hatching his latest idea since 1996, and now has a pathologist and art collector to help to find a candidate who wants to become a work of art in the final days of his or her life.
"The dying person would determine everything in advance, he would be the absolute centre of attention," said Mr Schneider.
"Everything will be done in consultation with the relatives, and the public will watch the death in an appropriately private atmosphere."
Oh dear.
