SYNOPSIS

'What prevents me from supposing that this table either vanishes or alters its shape when no one is observing it and then when someone looks at it again changes back? But one feels like saying - who is going to suppose such a thing?' This was part of Ludwig Wittgenstein contribution to the long standing philosophical debate about the value of human sensory perception to logical argument. This film is Paul Bush's contribution to the debate as he changes tables, chairs, teapots, jugs, fruit, footwear and anything else he can find lying around the house.
