Autorenporträt

Buiteboer likes to describe himself in many different ways. Sometimes he is an outfiltration technician-meaning he finds ways of dislocating consciousness from the here and organic now of planet earth. The goal is to outfiltrate into intangible spirit or other imaginary off-worldly realms. Alternatively, he is known to say that one has to move through this planet without allowing any of the shit to stick to you on the way out. Like a proverbial Teflon man (the one to whom nothing sticks) Buiteboer can therefore at best be introduced as someone who hails from a country at the top of the world (that is, if you turn the world map upside down to have the south face the north and vice versa)-South Africa. As a result of being born at the top of the world, he is a lifelong explorer of both the physical and nonphysical realities that envelop the senses. As a curious cat among the pigeons, Buiteboer's name itself, if unpacked in his native tongue, Afrikaans, already tells a story of its own. Buite means "outside," and Boer is basically referring to the ethnic name attached to a white settler tribe that fought two brutal wars of independence against the British Empire in the late 1800s. He is a Boer from the outside, always exploring in places where the mist of myth overlaps with terra firma-and incognita. Buiteboer can therefore best be described in words from Led Zeppelin's song "Kashmir": I'm a traveler of all kinds of space.
