• In Search of the Miraculous (One Night in Los Angeles) (1973) is a series of fourteen photographs documenting a walk by the artist into the LA night. It was meant to be the first part of a trilogy but while attempting to finish the second part – a crossing of the Atlantic on a 13 feet boat, from Massashutts, U.S. to Falmouth, UK – Bas Jan Ader went missing. His boat was found 6 months after he set off, on the Irish coastline with no clues to what could have happened to him.
“The often indistinct, occasionally banal images that constitute In Search of the Miraculous (One Night in Los Angeles) have a spectral, mysterious quality heightened by the shadow cast by later events; a man walks alone into the night, and eventually the sea. However, the pathos of the images is disturbed by the inclusion of pop lyrics and there is a tragic humor in much of Ader’s work that alludes to the silent cinema of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.”
