The art exhibition intriguingly titled Secrets by Marco Perego features a giant gumball machine-inspired sculpture that, unfortunately, does not hold any colorful gumballs. Instead, it is filled to the top with black skulls, which are far from appetizing. Even the machine itself is painted entirely black, giving the sculpture an ominous presence in the all-white gallery it is placed in.
Secrets by Marco Perego is the artist's first solo exhibition in Zurich, Switzerland at the Galerie Gmurzynska. Curated by Isabelle Bscher, it is comprised of three sculptures, 40 drawings and 10 paintings.

- Alternative Vending Machines
- Industries can explore the potential of alternative vending machines that offer different types of products, such as art or novelty items.
- Artistic Sculptures
- Industries can invest in creating unique and thought-provoking sculptures that serve as a conversation piece and attract people to their establishment.
Sectors Adopting This
