Tokyo Couples Risk Their Lives To Be Wrapped-Up In Plastic Bags For Photos
These couples are wrapped up in a plastic bag bound by each other posing for portraits to outline their bond. The artist Haruhiko Kawaguchi, covers people in lube and then vacuum packs them in plastic bags – sucking out all the air.
There is a paramedic team nearby as the suffocated couples hold their breath and he has just few seconds to take the shots.
Haruhiko says: “With my pictures, I try to show this power of love by getting the couples as close together as possible. The less distance there is between them, the stronger the power of love.”
“I think love is the most important thing in the earth. I think that everything positive in the world starts by focusing on love.”

Risking their life...this is ridicolous. It is a controlled environment. If there are no sharp scissors nearby, it would be blatantly stupid. Let them do whatever they deem right, but these "it is sooo dangerous" rhetorics are plainly annoying.

I get that sometimes art is disturbing. However, the artist here explains that his intention is to show the power of love. I only felt horror looking at these pictures...

I imagine having one of them fart as the material is sealed would make for the longest 60 seconds and the worst breath of "fresh air" after

At first, I thought this was some installation drawing attention to plastic and the dangers it causes the environment. No, just people being vacuum-packed.
