Stair pyramid, a tetrahedron in sheet iron with a base measuring 5 metres long and reaching 4.5 metres in height, rises up in nine steps to its pinnacle, a small podium on which stands a very slim, 1-metre high bronze sculpture. This comprises a three-legged stand into which a knotted stick is screwed, and atop this there balances, as it were, a 20-cm small kitsch reproduction of the Venus de Milo. Only partially visible from below, she reaches up to the clouds on her knotted stick, this phallus-like stick-object (a term invented by Raymond Queneau). The three-sided pyramid form, which isn’t at all noticeable from a distance, is a continuation of the three legs of the stand – the base shape of pyramids is normally square, because they symbolise the earth.
