A critical examination of the theme of blood-sports – lust for (and disgust for) the kill, pity for the victims, tally-ho, culture and nature. The shade is richly decorated with drawings and script. When the lamp is switched off, the joys of hunting are portrayed; but when the lamp is switched on, images of the bitter cruelty and inhumanity of blood-sports shine through the parchment. This imposing lamp carries an atmosphere of the surreal – beneath the pompous tassels hang, as on a carousel, the ghosts of the dead animals presented as shooting-targets.

Es war einmal ein Irrlicht, das hatte sich verirrt und tanzte blass und ruhelos durch die Nacht. Da erbarmte sich seiner eine Fee. Sie gab ihm ein Kleid aus Feenstoff und setzte es auf einen festen Stab. So fand es endlich Ruhe und erstrahlt und leuchtet seither in irren Farben!
