In this video, artist Alicja Kwade discusses her work ParaPivot, commissioned for The Met’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. Using steel and stone to evoke a miniature solar system, Kwade has created two sculptures that call into question the systems designed to banish doubt from the world and make sense of an otherwise unfathomable universe.
