The following text as part of the work:
Schrödinger’s kitchen is the last vision of an aging scientist found after his disappearance. Obviously, he used the days left to put into practice his thoughts on the exhaustion of spaces (… the complete abolition of all liferelevant and thus deadly forces by means of their superimposition and disintegration.) In the kitchen of his apartment (that nothing more possibly can happen). He visualized his dream of the heavenly picture and experienced as the found records can be seen hardly to be suspected horror. You will see the probably last photo showing Schroedinger (original) as well as the experimental setup into which he transformed his kitchen (an eternity), found in the abandoned apartment. Schrödinger was no longer seen.
The understanding of this supposedly found object is the equipment(?) with a fugitive personality, which, as an author, remains hard to beieve. To test the functionality of a whatever protagonist as an alibi, will keep us being occupied with.

A manifest of the game that the cruel optimist ife refuses to be. On the surface, this is an optical machine that invites tired people to lay their heads and choose a viewing direction. However, the history of this expression of a last vision suggests that exhaustion beyond fatigue (the axis anyway) remains imaginable. A room that closes around the head (blue table) and that narrows inwards, whose openings indicate logics of various dimensions. In the quantum world of the once real Schrödinger, an ambiguous place of residence is thinkable and imaginable. Undecayable whether exhaustion or more of cockiness for this attempt animated to get to such a place. Nothing from outside the kitchen can be found on the object. The authenticity of the story is proofed by newspapers found at the bottom of the rolledup bottom funnel.
