At six, Alexis Pike planned to be just like Evel Knievel: racing her bike down a hill, she crashed and spent four days in hospital with a fractured skull – and gained bragging rights. In the 1970s Knievel was the daredevil, steadfast, virile and determined, clad in red, white and blue, embodying the fantasy of soaring over obstacles. Inspired by his swagger, Color Me Lucky explores desire, sexuality, masculinity, image and risk, the momentum that carries you forward even when you know there is a train wreck ahead, and what attracts us to act on or witness risky behaviour for the sake of a thrill.
