French artist Abraham Poincheval prepares to go out of a 12-tonne boulder where he was entombed for a week at the Palais de Tokyo on March 1, 2017 in Paris. 



The artist made headlines worldwide when the two halves of the rock closed around him on February 22, 2017 at Paris's Palais de Tokyo art museum. Poincheval, 44, had carved out a hole inside the rock in his own image, just big enough for him to sit up in, with a niche to hold supplies of water, soup and dried meat. / AFP PHOTO / JOEL SAGET / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY MENTION OF THE ARTIST UPON PUBLICATION - TO ILLUSTRATE THE EVENT AS SPECIFIED IN THE CAPTION        (Photo credit should read JOEL SAGET/AFP/Getty Images)
