Everything can be questioned, especially the established ideas about the world and about art. Koller's works debate and ask questions to which the artist did not even expect answers.

He repeated the question mark in many forms and on various materials, sometimes overlaying it with other symbols of ideologies and political systems. In this minimalist gesture, he represented the chaos of the 20th century and the endless struggle between power structures and individual freedom.

The question mark is not so remote from an exclamation point, and in Koller's presentation it works as a quiet eyebrow raise, but also as a straightforward outcry.
