The love for the train station buffet (train station restaurant) is a love for departure and short stays, or for rest in transit. To be protected in a vortex of change, people come and go, people waiting, bored, excited. Sometimes dreary and bare walls, sparse tables and chairs, or with chandeliers and white tablecloths, or massive murals. A buffet is also a display, an offer of food and drink, to serve and to cater for oneself, in contemplation, in self-determination.

In the exhibition Train Station Buffet, Claudia Zweifel shows, among other things, tableaus in which ceramic reliefs, outlines and stereograms are cast in resin plaster. In the assemblages, motifs such as the spider web, pots, pipes, people sitting, bad-tempered people, shamrocks and dreams - a picture by Helene Funke - adapted in ceramics. Maybe they don't go together, or they don't have to. The need for connections and relationships, the creation of reference systems, and the renunciation of conceptual meaning as a value, accompanies this exhibition and the previous development processes of the works. Nothing can be foreseen, everything is a state and a trance.
