Sjors Driessen

Recep Erdogan

2017

Ceremic, aluminium & oak

27 x 51,5 x 24,5

Look in the barrel of a gun and look into the shooter’s eyes and see four world leaders: Poetin, Erdogan, Trump and Kim Jong-un. History that still has to be written or reality that is happening behind the scenes?

Sjors Driessen lifts a tip of the future veil. He thinks it is today’s history. It is no reality but it is real. And he expresses that with his ceramic guns. Fragile but accurate at the same time. Unusable in its current form, but a powerful weapon in the wrong hands. Pain, grief, power, authority and despair.
And hope and vigor. At least, according to Sjors. He draws the image of four egos and at the same time almost eight million people. Look into the barrel, stretch your back, think and speak. The word is after all still mightier than the sword.
Impact. According to Sjors something that does just happen to you. It is rather a choice. Look into the barrel and choose.
