The life and work of pioneering artist Chris Burden, who for forty-five years maintained a quest to challenge perceived boundaries of modern art in an always awe-inspiring manner. He had himself shot, electrocuted, crucified on the back of a VW bug. The documentary look at Burden’s works and private life with an innovative mix of still-potent videos of his 70s performances, personal videos and audio recordings, friends, critics’ comments and latter day footage at his Topanga Canyon studio, all peppered with his thoughts and musings through the years.
