An inflatable naked man bulging against the walls of a gallery forms part of an exhibition by artist Jeremie Maret Too Fat To Fail at his [Proposal](http://www.theproposal.cc/?ref=protein.xyz#!/) gallery in Zurich.

The gallery space, which encourages visitors to stay the night in order to see the sculpture being inflated and deflated, also provides on-going sleepovers during any future exhibitions.

Visitors can chose to stay inside a heated Peugoet J7 bus outside the gallery and a double bedroom situated in a separate room inside. As if the sleepover experience wasn't enough to tempt you, visitors are then treated to a bagel breakfast, drinks and the use of gallery-owned bicycles.

Responsible for the accommodation is designer Christian Weber of Plasma Design. Recognised for challenging the conventional interpretations of beauty within his work, Weber refers to a basic and raw like interior accompanied with simple white bedding to create a minimal like setting.

It’s inspiring to see a concept that combines art and hospitality, and lets the guests be part of the gallery and art process.
