ROMAN SIGNER | “Wasserstiefel” | 1986
“For ‘Waterboots’ I filled two black boots with water and put a small amount of explosives in them. This is what the water looked like when I fired them electrically. Before starting, I said to my brother-in-law who was with me: ‘Stand in front of it and take a picture when it explodes.’ He had neither a tripod nor a motorized camera. He just stood there, pressed the release, and came up with a masterpiece.” —Roman Signer [x]
