A surreal scene unfolds; knives and forks engage in a hallucinatory dance, voyeuristic eyes peer through the window, acid-house smiles fill the ceiling and her male counterpart grins, anonymous and de-humanised, his head made of slime, penis of a serpent and thigh branded with conflicting words: ‘FIXER/PROBLEM’.
