Isa Genzken's 2006 Untitled work takes a figurative form made up of common components of domestic lighting curiously embellished with coconut fibre hair and poised above a mound of discarded artichokes. The fragile character of Genzken's constructions reflect the surrounding world and the fragility of human existence.
