If you look closely, you will discover shiny chocolate beetles and crawling gemstones with scribbled legs.<\/p>\n
Twig of dogwood. Fruits from the peony. Heather blossoms, a lime blossom, tomato green. Rose buds, very small. Chocolate paper – the shiny one that you actually throw away, but which, how could it be otherwise, I couldn’t throw away. Electronic resistors whose wires I twisted into snails. And lo and behold: the tiny splinter of a Christmas bauble, which only now drew attention to itself with its silvery sheen on my work table. <\/p>\n
That was the material. So far, so unsuspicious. <\/p>\n
Beetles emerged from the chocolate paper – with antennae made of electronic resistance wires, which now radiate a dignity like the horned rams. Some beetles have the body of a tiny rosebud. Others owe their shape to the fruits of the peony. Anything else? Oh, yes – the smallest beetles are made from heather flowers. <\/p>\n
Twigs of dogwood entwine the whole scene in sweeping curves – an airy home that is both frame and wilderness. Tomato green has settled like an evergreen star, landing on the edge of the delicate structure. A lime blossom still plays along. And a few other plant remnants that want to remain incognito – not everything here has to be determined down to the last detail, and I respect that. <\/p>\n
To summarize: If you don’t look closely, you won’t actually see anything else of significance here.<\/p>\n
A small enamel find that lends weight to the whole scene. It is more than a casual indication of location. More like a clue. An answer to a question that urgently needs to be asked. So if someone asks you: “Tell me where the bugs are!” Then you now know the answer: In Ulm and around Ulm and around Ulm. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
