The Six Feet Under Club: an art project burying kinky couples alive<\/strong>
\n“It might get icky”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Austrian art collective monochrom offers a unique opportunity for participants to experience the warping of public and private space: having sex in a coffin while strangers watch you via webcam.<\/p>\n

You can hear the whirring of a drill as the last cracks of light are stifled. There\u2019s a pause, followed by the scratchy sound of dirt spilling above the wooden board just inches from your face. Then silence.<\/p>\n

You would be forgiven for imagining this to be a scene from a horror film. But the man standing above your coffin, shovel in hand, is Johannes Grenzfurthner \u2013 founder of the Austrian art collective monochrom, to whom you have signed away full consent.<\/p>\n

This is the Six Feet Under Club: an art installation where couples volunteer to be buried in a casket beneath the ground\u2026 along with a webcam that projects the scene for onlookers in unflattering night-vision. The intention is to keep the intimacy of a sexual moment intact while moving it from the private to the public.<\/p>\n

It’s a question monochrom isn’t alone in asking, even if the answers everywhere else are tamer. The same webcam that buries you here is the one that powers everything from livestreamed funerals and OnlyFans to whatever the internet is currently calling the best online crypto casino<\/a> \u2014 places where the audience and the performer are separated only by a feed and the agreement, however thin, that someone is watching. The coffin just makes the contract literal: the lid closes, the camera light comes on, and somewhere out there a stranger has settled in to watch what was supposed to be the most unwatchable thing of all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
