The collection XXVIII – If you shoot a bullet in a vacuum, will it keep travelling forever? (Emily Wardill)

Gert Robijns' replica is a reproduction of a triptych by Ettore Spaletti. The triptych is a collection work from the M HKA that Robijns replicated in other material, in a different color (the original is yellow) and in full size. In this way Robijns took away a key element of the original work. The work is still present, but has been stripped of the essence. The artist creates an analog reality, with small but crucial differences from the 'real reality'. Due to the omission of the color a different observation is made possible, a different dimension occurs in the foreground. The emphasis shifts to other elements such as the object nature of things.
