    jon murphy is a proformance artist. he drowns himself for art...
    his friends/asistants are there to pull him out and provide CPR when he passes out.

    its not graphic.

    and there is a post stunt speach mad by the artist in the begining of the video that explains why he did it.... for those who get scared off by the first 2 posts.

    One night while buzzed my ex revealed that he's always wanted to drown someone because he thinks it would be beautiful. I'm so damn glad I got out of that one fast!

    I can't watch it either. Even if it is just a stunt I think it would really unsettling.

    thats not really the point, but i guess if people dont even want to see it than the proformance has no reason. other than for the artist himself.

    dude that was fuckin wacky

    whoever the fuckin self righteous cunts who are saying that "its not art" fuck them, their definition of art is too superficial to respect the man who preformed this awesome feat in the name of art.

    Haha, beautiful. You'd really have to trust your friend to know his CPR.

    That's not art, it's a stupid stunt.

    Could it be both? If he performs a stupid stunt in the name of art, doesn't that make it art? However, whether or not it actually has any artistic merit is another question...
