It seems the focus of last year’s Oscar-winning documentary feature will be putting on an encore.  From the AP:

Petit has been an artist-in-residence at Manhattan’s Cathedral of St. John the Divine since 1982. He keeps a practice wire strung high inside a hall there.

He’s also braved a wobbly ladder to reach cathedral chandeliers.
