Sir

well ..

I doubt it is possible to say anything about the 
specific work shown, on the basis of this video 
for the simple reason that in general there is a 
subtleness in Dan Flavin works. In very general 
terms he is interested what is resistant to a 
transfer.

I guess
your feelings belong to you. I am not jealous.

bon, I have seen Dan Flavin works in various 
museums etc... in recent years. It is not that 
difficult to find.
I definitely prefer looking at works instead of 
looking at images in books. The kind of book you 
mention does certainly not belong to my list of 
"most wanted" books.
I prefer to read and I do not think about ships. 
Sometimes I like to ask questions.

I would like to mention that you obviously missed what is not even a detail
i.e. I am not responsible for the video.
In fact, there is no relation between me and the video.

You may want to read the previous messages again. 
It may be helpful to read the Headers of the 
messages as well.

I also would like to mention that the video is 
possibly not meant to be a documentary work about 
an installation, but this is just one guess ...

I will possibly have the opportunity to leave the 
last word in this issue to you.

             I like to leave.
