Since well before his epic 1974 walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, Philippe Petit was an artist who answered first and foremost to the demands of his craft—not only on the high wire, but also as a street juggler, lecturer, timber framer, and writer. Even 40 years after his breathtaking, career-defining work, Petit is no less a rebel.
