Abstract
In a small college town in western Virginia, writer Anthony Restivo searches for unmediated honesty through his very public endurance art. In the midst of media attention, misinformation, and his physical struggle to complete a 22-day piece, Restivo creates fleeting moments of intimacy in the town's first known work of performance art.
