by Dutch artist Leon Keer

The Artwork

• Design: It features a larger-than-life, hyper-realistic red button on a yellow base.
• Technique: Keer uses anamorphosis, a perspective technique that creates a realistic 3D illusion only when viewed from a specific vantage point.
• Scale: The installation spans approximately 1,000 square feet and was completed over six days for his 2023 solo show, “SEEING THINGS”, at Wynwood Walls.

Symbolism & Meaning

As with much of Keer’s work, the piece serves as a playful yet poignant metaphor for contemporary life:

• Environmental & Social Reflection: Keer often uses his art to review current global issues, such as environmental concerns and the “diseased spirit of our times”.
• Collective Change: The “RESET” button suggests a longing for a fresh start or a collective desire to address social decay and return to “unspoiled beauty”.
• Interactive Engagement: The piece encourages visitors to interact with it, serving as a reminder of individual agency and the possibility of “resetting” one’s world.
