Hubwagen

For Hubwagen, Alicja Kwade places a familiar industrial object into a new context. The forks of a pallet truck are bent into a perfect circle, subverting the tool's purpose and turning it into an absurd, endlessly spinnable device. The circle symbolizes a concept of time that is cyclical without beginning or end, mirroring our own potentially futile yet relentless pursuit of meaning and knowledge. Activated at set times, the work performs its own illogical function. This installation and performance are part of the exhibition Dusty Die.
