Armour Box 001/Landmine Box

The Landmine Box houses 5 anti-personnel mines and  includes the Butterfly - a small mine that is often mistaken for a toy by children.
The mines are 1:1 casts showing the exact shape and scale of their explosive originals:
each of them fits into the palm of a hand.
While under construction, the box contained research into the work of mine action groups, medical aid organisations and mine-producing countries.
It also included fieldwork done in Bosnia, Kosovo and at the Iran-Iraq border.
Overnight the box mutated: the fieldwork and research had disappeared
and all the mines had turned to gold. They now rest on a red velvet carpet.
The lid of the box contains the mines' technical data.
The lid’s exterior is covered with a nursery rhyme.
The Landmine Box is not insured during exhibitions, since its gold mines are often picked up by grown-ups who mistake them for toys.
