In her sculptures, spatial and light installations, and video works, Alicja Kwade (*1979 in Katowice / Poland, lives in Berlin) repeatedly explores the relationship between fiction and reality. Her works are formal attempts to explain scientific or philosophical phenomena and shed light on our perception of reality as well as social conventions. In this process, Kwade works with material properties, modes of representation, and the expectations associated with them, as well as with notions of time and space.
