As part of Art @ Harbour, K11 MUSEA, in collaboration with Pace Gallery, presents the global debut of Alicja Kwade’s monumental sculpture, l’ordre des mondes (Totem).
With l’ordre des mondes (Totem), Alicja Kwade playfully explores the relationship between human existence and the universe. The marble spheres, distinguished by their varied colours and sizes, evoke planets and alien worlds. These spheres are mounted within a towering structure of chairs — everyday objects that introduce an abstract scale in contrast to the otherwise monumental planets. The artwork challenges the notion of humanity being at the centre of the universe while confronting the power that confronts us when we expand our horizons to contemplate the boundless expanse of space.
The title l’ordre des mondes (Totem) is a reference to Italian artist Piero Manzoni’s bronze sculpture Socle du Monde from 1961, on which the inscription must be read upside down. In the act of reading, the pedestal suddenly appears inverted, serving as the foundation for the world resting upon it. Observant yet impartial, Alicja Kwade prompts us to reflect on our relationship with the world. What value do we attribute to the Earth? And on which hierarchical level do we place ourselves in the universe?

One of Japan’s most influential masters of photography, Nobuyoshi Araki is renowned for his iconoclastic approach that challenges conventional norms.
Living in Araki’s imagination since childhood, the duality and symbolism of Eros and Thanatos (the drive of life and death) are represented in the artist’s “Flowers” and “Women” works, and a prevalent motif throughout the artist’s oeuvre.
With the title of “Erotos”, the harmony of Eros and Thanatos, coined by the photographer, Nobuyoshi Araki’s “Paradise” HK Pop-up brings over 100 of the photographer’s works to K11 MUSEA’s CEMENT space, with public debuts of never-before-shown instant films, and an immersive visual display area featuring specially sourced work from Araki’s archive.
