Giers: "Originally there was the word: Fe-tisch. A screw clamp solution: the Fe-tisch utilises used ladies underwear in a novel way. Objectively: Ladies underwear is fixed by two 4 screw clamps between two glass plates. The clamps serve at the same time as the table legs!"
Limited Edition: 1 piece
Some adjectives in the German language have the ending "-tisch" equivalent to "-tic" in the English language. The artist took his inspiration from German adjectives with this ending, which as a noun "Tisch" is the German word for "table". This play on words can be explained but, unfortunately, not be translated.
Just one example: "op-tisch" could be read as "optic table".
