Daniella Tobar

Daniella Tobar is a Chilean television actress. In January 2000, she attracted media headlines in Chile and worldwide after undertaking an art project whereby she took up residence in a transparent glass house placed in the centre of Chile's capital city, Santiago. The project, which lasted for two weeks, required Tobar to go about performing her daily routine and lead a normal life in full view of the public.

The glass house measuring 8-by-8 foot was designed and built by architect Arturo Torres.[1] The project cost US$23,000 and was funded by the Chilean government cultural agency. The purpose of the project was to examine the public's response on the issue of right to privacy.[1]

Tobar's feat attracted huge crowds among people of Santiago, mainly men. The feat also attracted discontent and uproar among the conservative population of Chile after she had taken a shower in the glass house in the nude.[2]
