Hetzelfde geldt voor Chris Boyne die zich bezighoudt met de verbeelding van zijn herinnering. Dat doet hij op een interessante manier door gebruik te maken van getuigenverklaringen; hij bevraagt de mensen die in dezelfde situatie zaten als hij op dat moment. Die verklaringen lopen sterk uiteen. Zijn ideeën en concept intrigeren maar de vertaalslag naar het publiek zou veel scherper kunnen. Ook met hem een goed gesprek daarover en voor mij was hij de meest intrigerende maker van alle reviews.

andrew boyne chris boyne collaboration. and an attempt to win a bike from a coffee shop in dartmouth nova scotia. we didn't win. here is the story-

_______________________________________

Herbie Loftus was an old Burntcoat man. Herbie’s family had always lived there along the North Shore of Nova Scotia. His father lived the Saxby Gale at age four. On Herbie’s leg if you looked behind the shin where the muscle was there was a large and mangled scar. When people saw it they’d ask where he took the scar and how. And Herbie would tell them it was in Burntcoat when he was eleven. He’d taken his brother’s bike and pedaled it hard down the road towards the water and then right out on the old wharf. His legs were burning and he was moving faster then he had before. It felt good. He’d ridden right along the wharf and then up and over the side then through the air and where he was sure there’d be ocean there was nothing but sand and barnacled rocks. The tide was out. Or at that moment more gone then out.

I had forgotten of my experiement with wooden boats, did not last long, mostly because they would not float straight - all that work and they keel over. The most succes that I ever had was making wooden guns, rifles, hand guns and bazookas, and the ocassional sword. I was a very popular armourer for a while with Andrew's friends.

we drove to windsor to buy apples and bacon and bread but they were closed. we met an old with a beard and thick glasses instead. he was skinny or wirey really and he had his cigarette lighter attached to a retractable wire thing like a janitor or security guard would have to keep his keys on. he smoked many cigarettes and showed us the porcupines and emus and donkeys and boars and elk and caribou and deer and ostrich and llamas and alpacas and horses and chickens and many other birds and some rodent sort of things. there was a fat barn cat. now the man works on the farm but before he lived in the city and worked at the mall. living in the city wasn't for him he told us. he gave us four cox orange apples to eat on the way home.

what james said

a real stunning beast from the past.

somewhere past savannah, and before new orleans (if i am remembering all this correctly), we came across an antique store of sorts. items were priced according to how much the owner liked them (as they should be). glass plate slides, from the early 1900's were either $3.00 for the okay ones, or $4.00 for the good ones. the whole process was arbitrary, but fair.

this cat fell into the $3.00 category
