Blindgänger (Blind Shell), 2016/2018
wood, wood shavings, reflected glass, ceramic hand grenade with gold firing
Size: approx. 21.5 x 31.5 x 10 cm
An object full of meaning is transformed into a different form and presented carefully embedded in a wooden box.
The ceramic, gold-plated hand grenade inside the box is more or less visible through the mirrored glass, depending on the way the light falls. The aesthetic explosive force only displays its brilliance and power under certain conditions and otherwise stays hidden.
