ANSWER
I see a series of elements: two forks, two sausages, a pearl necklace, a pink rose, three bones, a net and a Punschkrapfen. Together they form a delicate structure that seems by magic hold together. Is the fork still a fork? Or is it just material, shape and colour? Are objects in the service of the scene. I imagine that there is an invisible person holding the forks to eat the sausages and from which hangs the pearl necklace. If I look closely I see the little thread that holds it all together. I know with certainty that someone has meticulously placed each of these objects. I think about the object and its subject. It fills me with curiosity... if I could only see its shadow… I think of objects out of context and function…
