The artwork Secret Power – Top Secret (2016) is a mirror glass cabinet. At first appearance nothing is visible, only the observer sees himself and the exhibition space.
If the beholder comes closer a light mechanism triggered by a motion sensor inside the glass display case.
Behind the mirrors emergent lights are switched on and inside a collection of ceramic hand grenades, firing, gold and platinum plated comes into view. An aesthetic explosive power, which keeps under wraps.
What happens when you take a meaningful object out of its context and transfer it into a different form and environment?
An art object that at first closes itself to the viewer, reveals itself only briefly and gives rise to many mysteries.
