Description
This striking black and white photograph captures a surreal scene created by photographer Erik Tanner, featuring three people seated at a wooden table that appears to levitate above the floor. A bearded man, an older man wearing a small cap, and a young child hold hands across the table while they and their chairs hang suspended in mid-air. Thin vertical strings or wires run from the ceiling down to the furniture and subjects, suggesting the mechanics of the illusion. The setting is an austere room with distressed, peeling wall panels and exposed brick near the floor. Three lit candles stand in a row on the wooden floorboards directly beneath the floating group, casting a subtle illumination upward.
