Untitled (Tea Party)

In 1975 33 year old Bas Jan went out sailing on a small sail boat. He wanted to sail solo across the Atlantic Ocean. The journey was part of an artwork called “In search of miracles”. After setting sail he was never seen or heard of again. After his death Bas Jan’s story made him into a myth and his work a bit more magical.

These photographs are stills from a video work Bas Jan made in which he has his own tea party.
