Recurring orbits are central to Kwade’s sculptural works ‘Die Gesamtheit aller Orte’ and ‘Duodecuple be-hide’. The variance in viewing angles gives different versions of reality and ‘opens up parallel worlds’ Kwade states .

A representation of the same object in different states of completeness. Kwade uses these shifts to encourage existential questions on location of a form within space and time. Similar concepts can be seen at play in my works, ‘Gravity of Supply’, 2022, ‘Cutting Through’, 2022 and ‘Iron Curtain’, 2022.

Some of Kwade's objects are everyday items intentionally found and used to help us embrace and connect with scientific theory and the laws of the micro- or macro-cosm when viewed directly. Direct links to my work and the phenomena of recirculating energy, the ecological circle of life and the energy present in all organic and non-organic material.

‘Gegebenenfalls die Wirklichkeit’, 2017 is a partial copy of a natural granite stone, re-created by a milling machine using 3D scanning techniques and digital surface data. Kwade has kept authorship by being the realizer of this form and controlling the timing of the suspension of cutting. This sculpture hangs in the balance between its natural and technological form and questions of unfinished or in progress, real or synthetic have to be asked?

This links directly with topics discussed in Penone and Homersfield Quarry, surrounding cultural landscape, its historical modification and interference often beyond recognition.
