On 23 January 1896, Wilhelm Röntgen presents his revolutionary imaging technique. In the same year, Visarte Zentralschweiz was founded, the professional association of visual artists.

The association commissioned Andreas Weber to design the „Jahresgabe“, a limited edition for patrons. For the 125th anniversary, Visarte members and other artists were invited to send an object or an assemblage of several objects by post to Andreas Weber.

The packages received are x-rayed unopened and returned to the sender. The result is a collection of over 180 X-ray images.
