This installation has the most dramatic effect if you come up the steps from the bottom. Then the Jurors appear to expect you, placing you inadvertently in the role of the Accused, who, crouching with a flat Basque cap on his head, stands alone before the court. Despite his elevated seat, the Michelin Man acting as Judge in the middle of the figures arranged in a slight arc is not the most awe-inspiring figure. The meatgrinders used for the other scultpures present much more imposing symbols of mercilessly grinding justice. The meatgrinder is a recurring element in Spoerri’s sculptural work. We encounter it again in Meatgrinder Fountain (8) and in »Warriors of the Night« (13).
