A short experimental video which is a reinterpretation of Dutch conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader's 1971 experimental film "I'm too sad to tell you...” Like Ader's film, the piece features a single shot of the artist crying. The work explores issues of originality, authorship, and the nature and function of art making in the contemporary world.
