In the first space of the gallery, the visitor encounters a collage-style work, featuring a huge map of the UK showing all its nuclear power plants, each one of which has been replaced by a portrait of the German father of nuclear physics Otto Hahn. Zipp’s position on nuclear power and the Atom Bomb remains ambiguous – his work does not lecture or preach, but nevertheless creates disquieting or revelatory juxtapositions. The addition of a small sculpture of another influential German – Martin Luther, the monk whose teachings changed the course of Western religion – adds another layer of complexity to the web of interrelationships and histories between Britain and his native Germany to which this work alludes.
