Richard Whitehurst is an artist. A weird artist. A while ago he had a thing called a THE PUNCH-YOU-IN-THE-FACE TUNNEL where he was sitting at the end of a tunnel in a room, and if you came through the tunnel into the room... he would, yes, punch you in the face.

Now, he has a rape tunnel. You can guess what happens there. This is a bit of an article describing this lovely invention:

"The artist plans to place himself in a room, the only entrance or exit being a 22 ft long plywood tunnel constructed by Whitehurst himself. Then he says that for the duration of the gallery’s opening (from 7:00 p.m. to midnight) he will rape anyone who travels through the tunnel into that room."

This is what it looks like:



I wouldn't go in there. And I don't know if it's actually rape, because the person would choose to go in there, knowing that they will be raped.

A very interesting thing, but debatable if it is art...
