The whole world is engulfed in a strange game: people take pictures of their friends, lying face down in various inappropriate places. At the top of the statues, in the middle of the road, opposite famous landmarks - you can find a participant in the game wherever there is a chance to place the body in a horizontal position. A logical question arises: "Why?", But the participants of the flash mob "The Lying Down Game" answer the question with a question: "Why not?"
Game authors Gary Clarkson and Christian Langdon describe their work as "a sport for those who don't have the slightest desire to do something." In other words, this is an urban sport for lazy people. There are no dangerous jumps or the need to climb somewhere: just lie to yourself and do not move while the crowd of curious people looks at you as if you have lost your mind.
Feeling brave enough to join The Lying Down Game? The rules are very simple: 1) the more viewers, the better; 2) the more participants, the better. And one more important point: the palms should be raised up, and the toes of the feet should be directed to the ground - as if you were standing.
The idea of a performance appeared back in 2006, but the game became widespread only in 2009. The story was considered interesting by the media and was featured on news broadcasts around the world. Since then, the number of people wishing to participate in "The Lying Down Game" has grown significantly.
And while the photographs look odd individually, taken together they form an amazing example of collective performance that has swept the whole world.
