Graced with a curious imagination and a childlike enthusiasm for science, it is no wonder Alicja Kwade leapt at the opportunity to create an installation within an old church in Berlin—caught in mid-renovation—where she could recreate a historic experiment by 19th-century French physicist Léon Foucault. In a nod to Foucault, best known for his eponymous pendulum that demonstrated the Earth’s rotation, Kwade has hung a light bulb and microphone from the ceiling of the church.
