The Village Voice

View high resolution

Kevin the Human Carpet is a New York performer who shows up at parties and lets people walk over him. He even got a government grant to do this. Our very own Michael Musto recently asked him a few questions.

Musto: Why do you love being a human carpet so much, you kook?

Kevin Carpet: I love doing this. At these events, I lay in busy areas by doorways or by the bar and people, so naturally step on me and walk on me to get by and order drinks.

Plus with these crowds, the people shout to me as the walk on. “Hey, Carpet guy,” “Love ya, Kevin,” and things like that.
