I Would Have Run But I Had A Heavy Cold (1980), 15:00 mins, Sydney.

In I Would Have Run But I Had A Heavy Cold I enter the water beside a pontoon on the Hawkesbury River near Sydney. As speedboats zoom by with skiers in trail I crawl out of the water at the end of the pontoon - and come towards the camera repetitively until I am exhausted.1
