If you look closely, you will discover shiny chocolate beetles and crawling gemstones with scribbled legs.<\/p>\n
A small branch of dogwood. Spindle tree berries. Heather blossoms, a linden blossom, tomato leaves. Rosebuds, very small. Chocolate wrappers\u2014the shiny ones you\u2019re supposed to throw away, but which, unsurprisingly, I couldn\u2019t bring myself to throw away. Electronic resistors, whose wires I twisted into spirals. And lo and behold: the tiny shard of a Christmas ornament, which only now caught my eye with its silvery sheen on my work table. <\/p>\n
That was the material. So far, so innocent. <\/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
Little branches of dogwood entwine the entire scene in lively twists and turns\u2014an airy home that is both a frame and a wilderness. Tomato greens have settled like an evergreen star, landing at the edge of the delicate structure. A linden blossom joins in the play. And a few other plant remnants that wish to remain incognito\u2014not everything here needs to be identified 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":"
