Artist Miranda July Performs At a Gas Station

Clip: Season 11 Episode 3 | 1m 30s  | Video has closed captioning.

Artist Miranda July walks through a busy gas station while uncoiling a roll of white ribbon, asking strangers to hold onto a part of it but feel free to let go whenever they need to. The ribbon tangles and wraps around the entire gas station. In the voiceover, July discusses how taking risks is her comfort zone and not being afraid to do so gives her a superpower to work freely.
