On November 19, 1971, at the F-Space gallery in Santa Ana, California, a friend raised a .22-caliber rifle at a distance of 15 feet from the artist Chris Burden and shot him in the left shoulder. The performance was documented in an eight-second video on 16mm film and photographs. There was a small audience for the performance, including the videographer and photographer. The work was later presented through documentary photographs and text from Burden.
