Storyline

The cartoon rabbit that was artist Ray Johnson's signature serves as the inspiration for the title of this documentary that examines the work, life and untimely death of this one-of-a-kind artist. Interviews of fellow contemporary artists like Christo and Billy Name shine a light on the professional work and private life of Johnson, while archival video shows him in his element creating his unique artwork that combined everything from Pop Art images, rubber stamps and collage.

Short Review

The film itself becomes not so much a portrait of Ray Johnson as a collage. Maybe that's exactly as it should be.
