Quotes

"An artist book with no text, Fall contains two photographic sequences, composed of 11 images each, from the artist's films Fall 1, Los Angeles, and Fall 2, Amsterdam. The former begins with Ader seated in a straight-backed chair on the roof of his house and the latter sees the artist cycling into the canal in one of his most recognizable actions."
Dave Dyment (artistsbooksandmultiples.blogspot.com)

"The book contains 22 film stills from Ader's seminal films "Fall 1, Los Angeles" and "Fall 2, Amsterdam". Left pages are blank, right pages have a single image. The stills of the two different films are separated by a blank spread.The only text is on the cover: top right: "FALL" bottom right: "BAS JAN ADER." In addition to the film stills there are also documentary photographs taken during the filming by William Leavitt (Fall 1) and Ger Van Elk (Fall 2)."
Wolfs et al (Please don't leave me, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam, 2006. p. 124, item 43.)
