    The aesthetic principles of Neo Rauch -the dreamlike link between illusionism and the artificial world of staged presentation -have more in common with the theater... His strange figures are static extras, despite their apparent vigorous activity. The oddly old-fashioned objects with which they perform could easily have come from a long-locked prop storage room -made for different drama performances, without a common scale, without a shared vanishing point. Similarly, the backdrops for the shallow stages appear to have been created for different performances -as spatially inconsistent mock sets. The prominent titles on the images ultimately demolish all residues of realism in the sediment of detail.
