ITEMS FOR THE GREAT RESET
A series of sculptures conceived as products for a future in which fewer choices are presented as progress. Developed with the logic of product design and treated with complete seriousness, the works occupy the uneasy territory between utility, social engineering and conspiracy theory.
ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
SOLAR POWERED STRAP
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. A small solar panel is attached to a hand formed strap made from self drying clay and marked with a hologram, turning the language of renewable technology into a speculative everyday object. The work explores consumer culture, technology and society, preparedness and the politics of designed objects, hovering between functional product, improvised survival device and absurd future archaeology.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
SERVICE VEHICLE
A 3D rendered conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. The imagined service vehicle is reduced to a transparent geometric body mounted on simple orange wheels, somewhere between public infrastructure, toy and speculative consumer product. The work uses the visual language of utility and mass production to examine technology, authority and political ideology in designed objects, while imagining how ordinary products might be read as artifacts of a future social system.
ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
EAR PIECE WITH DIAL
A 3D rendered conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. The compact earpiece combines the visual language of wearable technology, medical devices and consumer electronics, with a single pale blue dial embedded in an ergonomic form. Presented as a speculative consumer product, the work examines technology and society, surveillance, authority and social control, while remaining deliberately ambiguous between assistive object, personal device and ideological tool.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
STOPPER / WEDGE
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. The low leather covered wooden wedge resembles an ordinary functional object whose purpose has become oddly uncertain. Its form suggests stopping, blocking and controlling movement, turning a simple designed object into a study of boundaries, authority and social control. Positioned between utilitarian product and political satire, the work uses everyday material culture to question how ideology can become embedded in seemingly neutral objects.
ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
STOPPER / WEDGE
A 3D rendered conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. The familiar form of a wedge is reduced to a compact speculative object with a rough pale surface and muted olive side. Suggesting obstruction, restraint and control, the work turns an ordinary utilitarian form into a political object. Positioned between product design, absurdity and future archaeology, it explores authority, social control and the ideological meanings that can accumulate around everyday objects.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
CUPPING DEVICE
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. A faceted metallic green electric cupping device is embedded in red putty, transforming a mass produced wellness gadget into an ambiguous speculative object. The work brings together consumer culture, bodily optimisation and technology, questioning how designed products acquire promises of health, control and improvement. Somewhere between medical equipment, decorative object and political satire, it reflects on trust in technology and contemporary systems of self management.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
PAST DEVICE
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. A fork like implement made from an existing object, PLA print and self drying clay is presented like an archaeological fragment whose original function has become uncertain. Somewhere between tool, domestic object and speculative artifact, the work explores future archaeology, technology and the politics of everyday objects. Its deliberately ambiguous purpose suggests how ordinary material culture can acquire new ideological meanings when removed from its original context.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
ULTRASONIC CLEANING DEVICE
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. An ordinary ultrasonic cleaning device filled with vivid blue liquid is reframed as a speculative consumer product associated with hygiene, preparedness and control. The work uses a familiar mass produced object to examine consumer culture, technology and social systems, asking how seemingly neutral domestic devices can absorb larger ideas about safety, purity and collective behaviour. Its everyday appearance makes the boundary between real product and political satire deliberately unstable.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
VITAMIN BAR
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. Cast in plaster, the small white block resembles a hybrid of tablet, ration and mass produced consumer object, divided into four softened sections. The work imagines nutrition reduced to a standardized designed product and examines consumer culture, conformity and systems of efficiency. Positioned between speculative product design and political satire, the sculpture asks what everyday objects might look like when convenience, health and collective organisation become increasingly compressed into uniform solutions.
ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
WORM BREEDING STATION
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. A small blue PLA container with a transparent front turns living worms into the contents of an apparently designed consumer system. The work transforms vermiculture into a speculative domestic product, bringing together food production, technology, self sufficiency and control. Somewhere between survival equipment, biological infrastructure and absurd consumer object, it examines how living processes can be standardized, packaged and absorbed into imagined systems of future everyday life.
ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
COMMUNICATION RECEIVER
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. Built from a speaker cover, electrical components and air drying clay, the object resembles a communication device whose exact function remains uncertain. The work turns familiar technological parts into a speculative consumer product, exploring communication, authority, surveillance and social control. Positioned between functional equipment and political satire, it asks how designed objects can quietly carry assumptions about who speaks, who listens and how information moves through a social system.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
IMPULSE ACTIVATOR
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. Made from an electrical component, cable and foam, the work proposes an imagined device for activating human impulse as if motivation itself could be technologically managed. The sculpture brings together technology, behaviour and social control, turning the language of personal optimisation into a speculative object. Somewhere between wellness product, control mechanism and absurd consumer device, it examines the desire to regulate emotion, action and performance through designed systems.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
STATUE OF TOLERANCE
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. Made from 3D printed PLA, a rubber band and putty, the small monument translates the abstract language of tolerance into a designed physical object. The work examines ideology, collective belief and institutional language by asking what happens when a moral value becomes something to display, standardise or administer. Positioned between political satire, speculative product design and monument, it reflects on conformity, social pressure and the uneasy relationship between declared values and lived behaviour.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
PERSONAL WINDMILL
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. The work miniaturises the language of renewable infrastructure into a personal object made from 3D printed PLA and self drying clay. Reframed at domestic scale, the windmill becomes both practical fantasy and absurd consumer product. The sculpture explores technology and society, self sufficiency, consumer culture and systems of responsibility, imagining a future in which large political and environmental problems are repackaged as individual devices for everyday use.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
NERVE RELAXANT
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. Constructed from plastic pipe, wood, an elastic band and acrylic paint, the object is presented as an imagined device for regulating the nervous system. Its improvised materials contrast with the promise of technical control implied by its title. The work examines anxiety, personal optimisation, trust and social pressure, turning emotional regulation into a speculative consumer product and questioning how readily psychological discomfort can be reframed as a problem to be managed by objects.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
SAFE LIGHT BULB
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. A light bulb, cable and concrete are combined into an imagined product whose defining feature is not illumination but safety. The shift in emphasis turns an ordinary household object into a study of fear, trust and authority. Part of a series of speculative consumer products, the work explores how familiar technologies can acquire ideological meaning when protection becomes a selling point and ordinary life is increasingly organised around risk, security and reassurance.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
IRIS RECOGNITION HEAD
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. A silicone head, 3D printed PLA and doll eyes are combined into a speculative object centred on biometric identification. The work turns facial recognition and iris scanning into a strangely domestic physical artifact, placing surveillance technology beside the visual language of toys and prosthetics. It explores identity, authority, data collection and social control, asking how quickly technologies of verification can become normalised as ordinary objects within everyday life.

ITEM FOR THE GREAT RESET:
SIGNAL INTERRUPTER
A conceptual sculpture from Items for the Great Reset by Berlin based artist Barbara K. Prokop. Combining a silicone cast, electrical component and air drying clay, the object suggests a device designed to disrupt an unseen flow of information. The work draws on the language of communications technology while refusing to reveal a clear function. Positioned between defensive equipment, consumer electronics and political satire, it examines surveillance, censorship, control and the fragility of communication systems, asking who gains power when signals can be interrupted, filtered or withheld.
