Sometimes you have to fall into a pit in order to truly appreciate art
Art, or at least real art, is all about suffering. An artist has to cut open their soul and pour it onto a canvas or hammer it into a sculpture, but the art connoisseur sometimes must suffer as well. They have to smear the painting directly onto their eyes, try to swallow a sculpture whole, or—as an Italian man at the Serralves Museum in Portugal recently discovered—fall straight into an eight-foot hole. This comes from Publico (via Gizmodo), which says the pit that the man fell into was part of Anish Kapoor’s Descent Into Limbo, a giant circular hole that’s painted with a ridiculously black paint that’s so ridiculously black that it’s hard for people to tell whether or not it’s a real pit or just a black circle (once again, it’s a real pit).
