Here Is Always Somewhere Else, the critically acclaimed documentary about enigmatic Dutchartist Bas Jan Ader (1942-1975), whose daring conceptual performances culminated in his mysterious disappearance at sea. As recounted through the eyes of fellow emigrant Rene Daalder, Ader's story becomes a sweeping overview of contemporary art as well as an epic saga of the trans-formative powers of the ocean.

I sometimes wish that one day I'll have enough courage to make a final piece as beautifull and awe inspiring as he did in this work.
Please check out the trailer below.
