A woman living with terminal cancer has auctioned off three-minute slots of her remaining time in a profound living art exhibition raising money – and awareness – for cancer research. Emily Lahey, 32, from Melbourne in Australia, was given nine months to live after being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive NUT carcinoma in 2019. Access to cutting-edge treatment in the US, not available in Australia, has given Lahey an unexpected three years of life. Now she has taken part in the Australian Cancer Research Foundation’s installation, Time to Live, which saw 30 people take turns to sit with her while a digital timer counted off the seconds from three minutes to zero. “I hope it allows [people] to see life with a slightly different perspective,” Lahey told Australian TV show, The Sunday Project.
