Bas Jan Ader's 'In Search of the Miraculous'
Consisting of three parts: a lonely nighttime walk from the hills of Los Angeles down to the sea, documented in photographs; the solo crossing of the Atlantic (resulting in his death); and the never finished night walk through Amsterdam, mirroring the LA photographs.
An excellent series of Romantic photographs documenting a performance with so much mystery around it. I would also include the ownership of the remains of "Ocean Wave", the 13ft pocket cruiser Guppy 13 in which he attempted to sail across the Atlantic in.
