The wooden relief installation The Gap-white extends the thematic field of Brenner’s work Who Knows?. At first glance, the scene shows children playing on a playground with spring riders, slides, and climbing structures. In the foreground, however, a masked, uniformed figure equipped with night-vision goggles appears.

The identity of the figure remains ambiguous—military personnel, a member of a special unit, or an anonymous authority. This uncertainty destabilizes the scene: are the children being protected, or are they in danger?

What begins as a familiar image gradually shifts into one of unease. In The Gap, the fragile boundary between safety and threat becomes visible, transforming an ordinary playground into a space charged with tension and latent fear. The work heightens a sense of unease that is characteristic of Brenner’s imagery, where everyday situations are charged with tension and uncertainty.
