The art exhibition intriguingly titled Secrets by Marco Perego features a giant gumball machine-inspired sculpture that, unfortunately, does not hold any colorful gumballs. Instead, it is filled to the top with black skulls, which are far from appetizing. Even the machine itself is painted entirely black, giving the sculpture an ominous presence in the all-white gallery it is placed in.
Secrets by Marco Perego is the artist's first solo exhibition in Zurich, Switzerland at the Galerie Gmurzynska. Curated by Isabelle Bscher, it is comprised of three sculptures, 40 drawings and 10 paintings.
