Ironic resignation in a state of the absurd: the colloquial title “alles banane” — it's all bananas, meaning it makes no odds, it's all a muddle, it's absurd — is translated formally through the seemingly uncontrolled oxidation and the torn condition of the material. The picture carries a heavy, almost mocking resignation in the face of an illogical or chaotic reality. There is no harmonious order; the colours react with one another raw and unvarnished, as though the system had lost control of its own structure.
