X-RAY GUNS

'Tis the GUN-spangled banner! O long may it wave! In these three‑dimensional X‑rays objects, a constellation of weapons fills a rectangular field whose proportions evoke the American flag. Fascinated by mechanisms and by what lies beneath the surface, Černý turns weapons into transparent objects. Here they can quite literally be seen through, exposing the internal structures that make them function and shifting the focus from power and symbolism to anatomy, control, and latent tension.
