You've got to follow your balloon...

Do you ever ask yourself "Why doesn't the internet have more videos of exploding bananas and guys shooting balloons with handguns?" Today is your lucky day. The work of William Lamson.

Before the designation of 'performance artist', weren't folks like this generally regarded as, you know, crazy?

The one where he's wearing a Hellraiser-type mask and blowing the balloons up to keep from popping them....this I could watch all day.

The exploding bananas are great — I hope he wore ear plugs, though, or his head will be ringing for days. The video where he shoots the balloons with a spear gun is surprisingly pretty, with the dark spears against the white wall at various angles.

Do you ever ask yourself "Why doesn't the internet have more videos of exploding bananas and guys shooting balloons with handguns?" No. Not really.

That balloon that escaped the death trap in the second video is my hero.

Also, did this one remind anyone else of Bloons ?

What I want to know is why the dearth of videos of teens in banana suits lighting themselves on fire?

He's a great photographer, I think the video stuff is more for fun or exploring artistic ideas.

I've always wondered what sort of a person wakes up in the morning and says, "Today I'm going to paste a bunch of bananas to a mask, insert firecrackers in them, and detonate them."
