Planking: a brief history
The rules are simple: you must lie face down, palms(手掌)flat against your sides, with your feet together and pointing at the ground. Points are awarded for an original location and for the number of onlookers and participants involved. 1 Without a photo, you’re just a person lying down. This is planking, described variously as a global participatory art project, a “meaningless internet craze”.
It began 14 years ago with a pair of bored kids. Gary Clarkson, then 15, and his friend Christian Langdon, 12, would perform the plank in public places, amusing one another and puzzling onlookers. 2 The game was a pointless way for the boys to pass the time. As Clarkson puts it, “It was just a really stupid, random thing to do. ”
