Bas Jan Ader

Dutch/Californian artist Bas Jan Ader was last seen in 1975 when he took off in what would have been the smallest sailboat ever to cross the Atlantic. He left behind a small oeuvre, often using gravity as a medium, which more than 30 years after his disappearance at sea is more influential than ever before.

His work "Fall I" was very encouraging to me, as the way he puts himself into the work, took the physical risk for experimenting new subjectivities.

In image above, I found that the documentation method is very similar to my work "The pills".
