AN EXPLORATION OF THE BODY
IN SACRED SPACE

INNER space featured a series of installations of contemporary art in the Dornbach Parish Church during the Lenten period of 2015.
The exhibition drew attention to Holzmeister’s architecture, the liturgy, and the church plan in general representing a body into which we are received. The selected works each dealt with the notion of inner and outer space, the range of temporal states that manifest both the macro and micro unfolding of time and the possibility of simultaneously grasping the interior and exterior, intimate and universal, the finite and infinite.

THEMES

MICRO AND MACRO

The close examination of the micro-organism against a glimpse of the entire eco-system. The transcendent in seemingly insignificant finite matter.

EMPTINESS

Crisis and consolation at the discovery of a vast, unending expanse of emptiness at the core of our being as immeasurable as the constantly expanding universe.

THE WOUND

The wound as a superficial opening, a point of entry and re-entry, of discovery and healing. Through the wound we are healed.
