Mυθοποίηση – Mythopoesis

GABRIEL
Marianische Antiphonen I

„Unter deinen Schutz und Schirm fliehen wir“

GABRIEL Marianische Antiphonen I „Unter deinen Schutz und Schirm fliehen wir“[Marian Antiphons I “Beneath thy protection we seek refuge”] is a performative narrative and exhibition by the fictional character Gabriel. It focuses on the search for, contemplation of and refuge in the mythical figure of Mary. Mary in his conception is not only experienced as the Christian mother of God, but also as a powerful symbolic figure representing the female face of God.

The exhibition is a time capsule. We accompany Gabriel – the seeker, pilgrim, artist, activist, human being and friend – on one of his pilgrimage’s stations: to the Templar Castle Convento de Cristo in Portugal.

The authors of the performance and exhibition are Julian M. H. Schindele and Edwin W. Moes – who also embodies Gabriel. The photographs are by Stefan Hähnel.
