Featured music: Princess written and composed by Moby, B-side of the single Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad, Mute Records, UK edition, 1999

A video-clip based on a letter that conceptual artist Sol LeWitt, wrote to Eva Hesse.

dear wishdog, the origin of the text is clearly marked under the info of the video, and you can see here im not the first to use sol´s words and texts to make another work, check john baldessari sings sol le witt

But this music, is of original video?

[joaoleonardo1974]

the music is from another ny great artist named moby

Sol Lewitt and Eva Hesse are Great! This video is dreadful!

[artaslink]

SOL LEWITT ....the best

[wishdog14]

This is way out of context. Sol LeWitt had nothing to do with this video. The text is taken from a letter he wrote to Eva Hesse encouraging her to try to stop worrying so much over her work and just do it.  I hope people will seek out the original text of the letter, which can be found in Eva Hesse catalogs.
