“For Water Boots I filled two black boots with
water and put a small amount of explosive 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
motorised camera. He just stood there, pressed
the release, and came up with a masterpiece.”
