In today's tired society, human beings are forced to implement strategies of escape facing the productive machinery of the hegemonic system. For this subject, exhausted by the imperative of efficiency, it is no longer possible to be able to do more. He or she has to accept tireness as a space for encounter and reflection, and design strategies to abandon the forced freedom of self-exploitation. In this study we deal with the particular escape manoeuvre undertaken by the Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader in his last performance In Search of the Miraculous (1975). A journey of absolute surrender to nature that would culminate in his definitive disappearance.
