The exhibition of work by ZERO artist Christian Megert is arranged retrospectively: two typical mirror objects from the early 60s consist of several concave or convex, slightly tilted, partly overlapping vertical pieces of mirror. From the same time are his ‘labyrinthian lightbox’, a ‘cigar box’, and a ‘glass book’. As an example from the 70s we have an ‘endless light room’ and a light-kinetic object. The two mirrored compartment -pieces represent the 80s. The works from the last two decades are, with few exceptions, objects composed of polychrome mirror, glass and wood. They should be seen in the context of Megert’s earliest, monochrome, ‘mirror shards’.
