Photographer Bernard Langerock has selected 15 works from his extensive photo series “Cross Phenomena” and compiled them into Stations of the Cross. In his texts, Dr Kurt-Peter Gertz, theologian and art historian, takes an associative look at the result of this work, a rare form of depiction of the Stations of the Cross in the art world.
The open combination of image and word gives viewers the opportunity to develop their own ideas and thoughts and to immerse themselves meditatively in the photographs.
The depiction of the Way of the Cross goes back to the “Via dolorosa”, Jesus’ historical path of suffering from his condemnation to his crucifixion on Calvary in Jerusalem.
The artist talks to Dr Melanie Prange about the exhibited works and the Stations of the Cross in the history of art and piety.
