We've probably all heard the term "like looking for a needle in a haystack," particularly in the case of something that is impossible to find. Well, an artist in Italy has decided that he is going to do just that, find a needle in haystack as part of a performance art installation.
27-year-old Sven Sachsalber will be doing this during a performance at Palais de Tokyo, a contemporary art gallery in Paris, France, on Thursday and Friday this week. Whether he will find the needle in those two days remains to be seen.
The museum head, Jean de Loisy, will be placing the needle in the haystack, and then Sachsalber will do his best to find it.
Sachsalber is apparently an adept of extreme performances. In the past he has spent 24 hours in his room in the company of a cow. On another occasion, he ate a poisonous mushroom, and yet another he cut all the branches from a tree on which he was perched at the time.
