In 1973 Chris Burden conceives the work Through the Night Softly, to be inserted during 10 seconds amongst the regular Tv advertisements, "4 times a week for 4 weeks".

In the original video, longer than the tv ad, he held his hands behind his back and crawled through about 50 feet of glass in Los Angeles pavement at nigh time.

  • This is truly amazing.

  • this guy must have been really numb or a masochist to get through this

  • hot.

  • He could have done without the long title sequence and then shown the crawling part for longer. Idon't feel like anybody who saw that really got how intense the event was or knew what was going on.
