Sigmar Polke's use of dots duplicates the enlargement of photographic reproductions. This image represents a typical suburban residence. Devoid of any visible inhabitants, a human presence is inferred by the orderliness and familial nature of the surroundings; the empty, stage-like character of the setting motivates the viewer to insert actors and construct a narrative. The visual perspective and close proximity to the flowers, which obstruct a clear view, imbue our gaze with a voyeuristic feeling. The juxtaposition of foreground colors with a monochromatic background defines distinct planes, creating a visual tension that questions the nature of representation and perception.
