We traveled down an escalator into a space adjacent to the main Art Basel exhibit. About 40 people were gathered, all looking intently at this automobile. If you look carefully you can see that the car is full of water and a man is inside. He was actually bubbling under the water. Periodically he would come up and take an inhale from his scuba gear. After what seemed like 6 or 7 minutes, he emerged through the sun roof. Everyone clapped and cheered. Yes. This is an art piece. Reminiscent of performance pieces of earlier times.

Art Comments. William Hunt performed this piece in 2006 in 25 minutes.
