Personally, I interpret Blue’s stunts as something akin to performance art. The petting zoo plot obviously cribbed, as pornography has repeatedly done in the past, from mainstream art. In this case from David Blaine, whose 2003 work Above the Below saw the American artist encased in a Perspex box suspended over the Thames. Blaine spent over six weeks in the box, refusing food and surviving on only 4.5 litres of water a day. He pushed the human body to the limit, and was hospitalised immediately afterwards.
