Despite their hermetic, serious and technoid appearance, Daniel Kuge's artistic works speak a lot about us as humans and our handling of what surrounds us: what are our legacies and how are they interpreted? Analogies in archaic times, the industrialized anthropocene and an indefinite future are captured and explored; The archetypal mixes with the technological. His works become relics that tell about the enigmatic nature of the world which mankind shapes with its decisions. The relationship between humans and their objecs is reflected on its smooth and monochrome surfaces. Although the works are so precise and sharp, they cannot unambiguously be assigned and identified. Swaying and oscillating occurs between the profane and the sacred, between the material and the virtual, between utopia and dystopia.
