‘Everything has got an end only the sausage has two’

A simple and pragmatic saying - or even street philosophy – but more often found in a humorous context - is used in the German language (but originally from a novel by Scottish writer Walter Scott from the early 19th century). In this short video where the artist, who was born in Frankfurt, literally demonstrates that the (Frankfurter!) sausage has got two ends – and actually no end (as this is what the saying is supposed to mean) as the video goes backwards and forwards on loop, whilst the sausage is being produced and eaten in rotations.
