Gert Wessels

At Best Kept Secret 2023, Gert Wessels is a familiar face. With his artistic objects, Wessels has brightened the festival site of BKS22 and the decor of our very first event at ADE in Melkweg Amsterdam with creative artworks. For his project ROSA SAKER, he adopts a unique, ironic viewpoint toward everyday objects. Using bold colours, he challenges the limits of both functionality and form. At BKS23, he once again provides the festival site with the one cloud we love to see. Year after year, our very own cloud nine continues to expand in its love, laughs and happiness... the ubiquitous good vibes of Best Kept Secret. And this year, the project evolves. With the immersive and elusive Rosa Saker 5000. Experience it first hand on the festival site of BKS23.
