  1. Ader arranges yellow, blue and red flowers in a vase, thus recasting the intellectual and spiritual decisions involved in abstract composition as a hobby for bored upper-class housewives. For 25 minutes, he works and reworks, arranging the colors, adding and removing each, to form new color combinations and compositions.
