Alicja Kwade, born in Katowice (PL) lives and works in Berlin. Her sculptures, installations and works on paper question scientific and philosophical concepts by dissolving boundaries that seem to exist. With strategies such as mirroring, repetition and transformation of everyday materials, she explores reality and our idea of the world.
