Artists: monochrom
2013, 2025
In 2025, monochrom is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its world-famous performance series Buried Alive at Symposion Lindabrunn, where there has been a regular, permanent “burial site” since 2013, which has attracted international attention through filming for ORF, pro7 and other private broadcasters. Buried Alive (also known as Experience the Experience of Being Buried Alive and Lebendig begraben) is a performance series by the Austrian art and theory group monochrom. The basic concept is to offer voluntary participants the opportunity to be buried alive in a coffin underground for fifteen minutes.
