Make no mistake, these are not parts of the witch’s house from the famous story Hansel and Gretel. These seductive pieces by Johannes Buttner are part of an installation that filled his entire studio. These constructions were surrounded by what seemed to be ruins made of plaster and bits of metal nets and rods, which prevent direct access to the cakes. And here, to get to the sweets, you had to pass some difficulties.
