We know one item that is featured in this video.

A tangled cascade of silver flower and leaf shapes falls from a bare light bulb, which is almost concealed by the foliage. Black and white flowers and leaves accent the mass of strands. The metal shapes are clumped in a thicket at the top of the form before thinning out at the bottom, showing the silhouettes of the flowers and leaves.
