  Observation Table incorporates the design and use of observation instruments from a scientific laboratory.
Tables, fluorescent lamps, projectors, and Petri Dishes: all common objects within the context of scientific research.
However, instead of finding unicellular organisms, we can see utopian representations in the form of animals and plants printed on the human skin as contemporary tattoos.
Observation Table emphasizes the unreal properties given to animals and plants regardless of the legacy of natural sciences. It shows the imaginative dimension as a primordial aspect and challenges the certainties provided by the scientific logic.
