    »Les nains diaboliques protègent les oliviers et Dadanier Pour le Giardino contre les Jarres Dino«. Erik Dietman created this gnome in the Giardino from polystyrol and then had it cast in iron. His proclivity for wordgames is shown in the wordy title. Daniel Spoerri explains the term »Dadanier«: Gherashim Luca invented this word in 1962 for me in his action »Exactamo« (that exact word). It is put together from: Daniel, Dada and the ending »nier«, which means negation or denial, but it is also the final syllable for fruit trees, for example, »Pommier«, »Poirier«; in this case »Olivier« (olive tree).
