A chair stands in front of a square table covered with a white tablecloth. On the table sits a plate with a screen embedded in it.
A gold-coloured figure stands against a neutral background. Its hands are clasped behind its back, and it wears a maid’s uniform with a black dress, a white apron, white socks, and black shoes. Its gaze is slightly downward. Gloomy walk-in installation with oversized flower sculptures
Three black silhouettes against painted abstract black and white backdrop. On the left the profile of a man wearing a hat, on the right the silhouettes of two women who look as if they "jump" out of the picture sideways with one leg bent and one stretched. A red star with ten irregular points. The object has a comic-like appearance.
An older woman with long platinum blonde hair and a black suit leads a crowd of people. Everyone is wearing light-colored clothing and holding a rifle. The tips of the gun barrels are wrapped in red tape. A plasticine woman is standing in front of a crowd of plasticine children who are tumbling on the floor in front of her feet. The woman has wavy curly hair, a pale complexion and heavily made-up eyes and lips. Her blouse is open in the front and she holds her breasts out to the children. A white liquid drips from one breast. The children, all with short dark hair, look up at the woman as if begging her. Abstract painting on a light brown background with strong brushstrokes in pink, orange, neon yellow, black, white and red.
A white cat with black spots on its head is lapping milk from a flat brown bowl. It has its eyes closed and its tongue sticking out. Video screenshot: a man in a yellow sailor suit against a dark background Five doll heads stand side by side in an elongated, horizontal glass display case. Each wears a knitted balaclava with a different pattern. From left to right, the patterns are: plus and minus signs, swastikas, an abstract, unidentifiable pattern, zebra-like stripes, and the Playboy magazine bunny logo.
Bare feet stride across a sidewalk. Black Dr. Martens boots are attached to their ankles with laces, dragging them step by step behind them. On a plinth, set against a white studio background, three pastel-coloured bronze droplets are stacked on top of each other.
The image shows a man with shoulder-length hair opening a door. He is wearing light-colored jeans and a brown leather jacket. The floor, walls, and door are black, giving the scene an overall very dark appearance. In the doorway is a rectangular element made of light wood that stands out clearly against the dark background. On the left edge of the image, a pipe can be seen extending from the floor to the ceiling.
