On the left is a partial view of a round wooden table covered with Folie culture's colourful tablecloth. In the centre of the photo, a white wall is occupied by the all-over work "Vieux buffet" by Marc-Antoine K. Phaneuf, consisting of 300 vintage recipe books. To its right, Chef Lee's Wok'n'Roll Garden by Karen Tam marks the white wall with stereotypical Chinese symbols made of finely cut red paper.
