'La farde aux canards’ combines ducks with an array of functional objects (a foot bath, electrical cables, and so on), entities whose literal meanings have nothing whatsoever to do with one another, and which in that sense, also remain 'constant’ in substance. Nyst’s combinations, however, generate new and different meanings and in this case, the viewer’s hilarity.
