Post lot text
‘The artistic illusion does suggest a meaningful order, but I see it precisely the other way around. I assemble objects in such a way that the distinction between different uses … becomes superfluous. They are wonderful, highly charged objects, regardless of whether they are rotten or edible, raw or cooked. What you feel when you look at them you can only feel if you involve yourself with them. Order plays no role whatsoever, not even the inner barrier that tells you that pickles and cherries are incompatible in a culinary context.’ KARIN KNEFFEL
