„Man muss die Hand von jemandem dreimal schütteln und der Person dabei fest in die Augen sehen. So schafft man es, sich den Namen von jemandem mit Sicherheit zu merken. Ich hab’ mir auf diese Art die Namen von 5.000 Leuten im Horse Hospital gemerkt”, erzählte mir Jim Hollands. Hollands ist ein experimenteller Filmemacher, Musiker und Kurator. In seiner Kindheit litt er unter harten sozialen…
