"The Evel Knievel of Performance Art"
New York Times
"a cross between Evel Knievel and Marcel Duchamp"
Downtown
"America's own King of Pain."
Kurt Loder, MTV
"It happened too fast to be visible to these naked eyes.
Now he belongs to the videotape"
Village Voice
These videotapes chronicle the stunt spectaculars of performance artist David Leslie. Filmmaker Larry Fessenden weaves together interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, news clips, pirated block-busting songs and pix, and the multi-camera coverage of the events themselves, into a celebratory exploration of the motives and madness of the man the New York Times called "The Evel Knievel of Performance Art," and MTV dubbed "America's own King of Pain."
