Stunning Performance Art Piece

I found the work of Janine Antoni to be particularly intriguing. In her piece linked to above titled "touch" she stretches a slack-line in front of the horizon and slowly walks across it. As she does so the line momentarily touches the actual horizon line giving the illusion of Antoni walking along the horizon. The piece blurs the lines between sculpture and performance and gives a magical glimpse into what it might actually be like to walk on the horizon. This piece is truly genius.
