Falling is a recurrent motif, documented in the short films Fall I and Fall II (both 1970), in which the artist is seen, respectively, falling from the rooftop of his house in California and plunging with his bike into a canal in Amsterdam.
In July 1975 Ader set sail from Cape Cod, bound for Falmouth, England, as part of his final work, the three-part piece In Search of the Miraculous, which remains unfinished.
There is a huge aspect of mystery surrounding Bas Jan Ader and his work which is something i really admire. You are always left guessing, questioning what is going to happen, or why it is happening.
