Benyamin Reich: Parochet
In the organizer's words:
At the center of the spatial installation by artist Benyamin Reich is a large installation: the Talmud curtain (Hebrew: "Parochet"). It covers the altar of St. Matthew's during Passiontide. In its discursive structure, image and text, writing and imagery, run into each other - like a text that enters the world and raises questions. The artist's weave of Talmudic texts, Kabbalistic symbols and images is reminiscent of the finely embroidered curtain of the Jerusalem temple and the curtains of all later synagogues, which, according to rabbinic understanding, can be traced back to a metaphysical curtain in heaven. At the same time, it is reminiscent of Christian fasting cloths, which traditionally cover the altar of a church during Passiontide and thus temporarily question the contact between God and man - a Jewish-Christian dialog of traditions.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Verein Ausstellungshaus für christliche Kunst e.V. and the Ursula Lachnit-Fixon Foundation.
