Surrounding this arrangement are four wooden crates on as many pedestals from which oily black paint oozes. In each of the boxes lie on epoxy resin cushions a handgun roughly beaten out of brick.

The entire ensemble was arranged as the king’s position of a chess game, with the weapon boxes representing the pawns and protecting the rubble as the king piece, which has a paper tiger hovering over it as a crown. The ensemble is concluded with the Picture CageCodes Souvenir in the background.
