I am an Earthling - what are you?

March 5 and March 7: I am an Earthling - what are you? Art installation and performance at Kollegienkirche in Salzburg

I’m happy to share that in less than a month, my site-specific installation “I AM AN EARTHLING, WHAT ARE YOU?” will open at the magnificent and unique Kollegienkirche (protected as part of the UNESCO World Heritage), in the heart of Salzburg.

My installation, composed of a 12-part object (9.5 x 4 meters) made of aludubond, hanging over a 12m diameter mirror surface with a 17-minute sound sequence that can be heard every hour, could also be understood as a Lenten cloth which does not focus on one particular main altar, but views the entire church as an altar. It asks us to update our view of what is considered main and central and invites us to “see” by feeling, to let go.

KINDLY INVITED:

- Presentation at the Ash Wednesday midday service, March 5, 12:30 p.m

- Performance by Eva Petric, on Friday, March 7th, 6:00 p.m

Kollegienkirche Salzburg, Universitätsplatz 20, 5020 Salzburg

With the kind support:

Last but not least, my thanks to the organizer and head of university chaplaincy, Mag. Christian Wallisch-Breitsching, for his trust and kind invitation to undertake this project in this fascinating space, and to the curator of the project, Dietgard Grimmer, for their kind help and organization.
