From A Distance

Hosted by
Stories of hero worship, of people admiring someone from afar, and trying to get closer to them. Includes a story of a woman who sees a young man's photo in an art magazine and decides to track him down. Problem is: he's Dutch, he's a performance artist and he's dead. Supposedly. That doesn't stop her from creating her own mission to get near him, a mission that turns out to mirror certain things about his life.
