Assignment given by: A t/m Z kunstwerk, Utrecht.

Like in a quartet (the card-game), this quintet hase the same theme, with each time 5 different objects belonging to eachother. The over-all theme is 'furniture' with eg. 5 coffee-machines. Or 5 kinds of flo wers. There are 8 possible quintets: flowers and plants, sofa's, chairs, couverts, phones, pans and pots, coffee and cups.

The exterior has a background function, 5 chinese elements (earth, fir, metal, wood and water) are depicted in photogrphic images. The quintet-objects are in contrast to that, sharp in line.
