Commisioned by the Universitary Medical Centre Groningen for the exhibition Passage, the work Of Orb's Core is a fairytale of hope, renewal and magic. The works evolves around the head-shaped sculpture Het Rode Geheim, that Sigurdur Gudmundsson made for the new hospital entry in 1998. The sculpture itself consists of a big granite faceless head, surrounded by rocks. In the work, we find a group of beings, wandering the sky, who come together around a head that's in a critical state. Can it still end well? Where do they get the hope from?
