For stockists, see page 224Everyday objects laden with metaphor, linear
objects drooping against walls, and mirror
images with deliberate imperfections lend
a hallucinatory quality to the works of
Alicja Kwade, unsettling our understanding of
science and the meaning of reality. In happy
contrast, her dish of choice is a simple green
papaya salad. ‘The irst time I made it was
during an artist residency for L’Association
Martiniquaise pour l’Art Contemporain in
Martinique,’ she says. ‘Their small boathouse
is the most beautiful place on earth I know.’
