Man To Live Another Man's Life For 4 Weeks
In that run-through, the only contact Farid will have is an hour's consultation with a psychologist, who will watch him in silence, and the volunteers who will help feed him the food that his surrogate eats. The other participant's life will be recorded through a secret camera mounted in his glasses. Participants won't be able to tell anybody but their partner that they are taking part.
So if you want to be the part of this experiment, applications are open to be the ‘other’ person. Farid requires that the participant is a male, and in a relationship and living with someone who also agrees to take part. He also asks that potential participants consider whether they are comfortable with someone filming and watching a month of their whole life. The successful participant will be given time with a psychologist before the task, to ensure he is up for it, and after. The project will be funded through a Kickstarter that is set to launch soon.
Professor Barbara Sahakian, a professor of clinical neuropsychology at Cambridge, said, "I am concerned how such a long project which involves voyeurism on the part of Mark and also on the part of the public in regard to Mark will affect his mental health."
