Simone Kessler's Curvature explores the invisible forces and immaterial processes that shape our reality. In this delicately balanced magnet installation, she engages with the concept of spacetime curvature and other physical phenomena. Kessler references the scientific method of reducing complex realities in order to derive functional models, highlighting how large parts of the world are often excluded in this process. Curvature visualizes these forces through three-dimensional forms and two-dimensional shadow projections, offering a sensory experience that reflects on the limitations and abstractions inherent in scientific inquiry.
