Kadow and Heil share a fascination for the phenomena that give rise to our living environment in the field of forces between microcosm and macrocosm. In both of their artistic approaches, the playful handling of (natural) scientific aspects emerges as a search for traces, characterized by a media-reflexive investigation which is a crucial part of both their works. The artists work with different media. However, their works are similar in aesthetics and themes, which they both present in a non-commentary way. Stones, directions, and strange discolorations, perhaps created by the specific action of technological sensors, recur in both works. These are presented to the viewer as given, raising questions about the nature of what one is observing. With “Intangible Scopes”, the artists want to offer space for free contemplation and the ignition of the subjective imagination of the viewer, which is a particular concern of both of them. With this collaboration, they aim to further explore commonalities in their artistic work and reveal associative spaces for the viewer. In the interaction, some works seem like different views of one and the same thing, while others show straightforward analogies. Heil and Kadow want to play with this aspect and will, therefore, spread and combine their works in the gallery space. The interweaving of the works creates simultaneities and, at the same time, juxtapositions, in which the viewer can embark on a search. In this mixture, the authorship almost recedes into the background, which means that the works and different associations and narratives of the topics in question come to the fore.
