don’t try this at home
Chinese artist Li Wei from Beijing started off his performance series ‘Mirroring’ and later on took off attention with his ‘Falls’ series which shows the artist with his head and chest embedded into the ground.

Divers in France have found the oldest known bust of Roman dictator Julius Caesar at the bottom of the River Rhone, officials have said.
The marble bust was found near Arles, which was founded by Caesar.
France’s culture ministry said the bust was from 46BC, the date of the southern town’s foundation.
The ministry described the bust - which shows a lined face and a balding head - as typical of realist portraits of the Republican era.
Republicans have always been realists.
