Potatoes fly through the air, shards of broken plates are strewn over the kitchen floor, furniture constructions collapse, and people with distorted faces fiddle with all kinds of everyday objects. What the people in the pictures are doing is anything but conformist; it is crazy in the best sense of the word. Anna and Bernhard Blume were involved in ... More |
