Musicians
travel a lot to perform in small towns and villages where they are expected
to play folk music. Once, when a group of instrumentalists struggled against
the disadvantages of a dirty road, they did not notice they were losing instruments,
one by one from the back of a truck. Musical instruments,
some of them quite unusual, when scattered along a narrow dirty road, made
quite a surrealistic landscape. Oscar, who was following the musicians in
his car, tried to let them know about their loss. When they did not notice
his attempts to get their attention, he videotaped the scene. His tape became
very useful for the musicians in their discussion of this accident with an
insurance company. Moreover, Duncan
a media man used some parts of the material as a music video background.
He used stills from the video for his gallery show and projected a movie
along with the prints.
