Mystery box Cally Trench's mystery boxes invite you to peep through the hole at the colourful and strange worlds inside, which contrast with the rough black finish of the outside of the boxes.

Most works of art can be seen by lots of people at the same time, but only one person can look into one of these mystery boxes at a time. So it becomes a private moment. Other people can see you looking in, but they can't see what you can see.

Four of the mystery boxes were exhibited in six primary schools in High Wycombe as part of SURPRISE, SURPRISE!, an exhibition of contemporary art by 15 artists curated by Cally Trench.
