In Alicja Kwade’s “Äußere Beschaffenheit, 2024”, a funnel visually connects two objects that resemble tree trunks, with one seemingly merging into the other, as if being absorbed. Closer inspection reveals that one object is a genuine tree trunk, while the other encases a petrified tree trunk. This juxtaposition emphasizes both the passage of time and the concept of materiality, illustrating how time and material changes act as both separators and connectors between the two forms.
