Joe, we are having lunch with Oleg. You got this wrong. He’s the sweetest most wonderful guy you ever met. No death wish. Good relationship with his mom. Humble. Hard to watch, but the discomfort is from the art.
I have begged him to stop. But the videos inspire me more than anyone else’s work right now. Let’s show some love for a great artist who is showing us who we are.
People like Oleg and @Kai_Lenny are creating works of video that change my understanding of human capability. They don’t lead me out onto the roofs and waves but let me know what it feels like to be free in our fear:
