The hole 2018

"The hole" (2018) by Eckart Hahn depicts a realistic rendering of Pinocchio, the famous wooden puppet from the children's story. Here, Pinocchio is rendered as a headless, limbless figure, only his head and feet are visible. The head is attached to the feet through long, winding ropes in a vivid yellow background, with a black hole at the bottom. The work uses a simple composition to create a powerful image, evoking a sense of unease and the fear of the unknown. This piece is a commentary on childhood innocence and the darkness that lies beneath the surface of the familiar.
