The curator says the work remains relevant because it presents an image of evil while leaving its meaning uncertain. Other works include 'Charlie Don't Surf', showing a child fixed to a school desk. The exhibition, titled 'Night', explores authority, dictatorship, death and doubt. The title also suggests a period of reflection before morning comes.
