On a summer’s day in 1983 Daniel Spoerri had tables buried in Park Jouy en Josas. Beforehand, guests had had a picnic in the open air on one of these 40-metre long tables. While the diners were relaxing and having a good time, just a short distance away, mechanical diggers were excavating a 40-metre long and 2-metre wide ditch. Daniel Spoerri closed the banquet and asked the guests to carry the tables into the ditch. The picnic is buried. In August 2010, INRAP* revealed parts of the »Snare-Table«, which had been buried for 27 years; one square metre of it was cast in bronze.
