Now the whole context has irrevocably changed - some of the world we were going back to has been removed as swiftly as if a magician had pulled the tablecloth out from under all the dinnerware set for the party. With one swift tug the cloth is in his hands, and the slightly rattled cups and teetering glassware remain, remarkably still standing. Everything looks like it is in place on the table, but starkly. The finesse that the fine linen brought is gone, and we can see how the table hasn’t been patched correctly, how the veneer is peeling, how old and useless this table actually is. Suddenly, the table setting looks a bit ludicrous. Like an imitation French Provincial stereo console: not only ridiculous but irrelevant.
