ALICJA KWADE: LA PÊCHE MIRACULEUSE

Alicja Kwade subtly destabilizes the physical environment to interrogate how we construct and perceive reality. Working across sculpture and installation, she employs materials such as stone, bronze, glass, and mirrors to expose the systems through which we understand space, time, and matter. This exhibition brings together works that stage a tension between visibility and concealment, solidity and permeability. Kwade’s massive forms are pierced, doubled, or fragmented through reflective surfaces that allow for new lines of sight through what initially appears to be fixed. As viewers move around them, the objects continually shift between states of presence and illusion, revealing multiple, parallel versions of reality. In this way Kwade implicates the viewer within the work, foregrounding the limits of perception and the unstable nature of what we consider real.
