Korean-born Young-Jae Lee has been a trailblazer in the world of artistic ceramics for fifty years. She wants to create bowls and vases from clay "as the world has never seen them before". 49 of these will now be on display in Chemnitz, bringing secular art into churches once again.

From 5 March 2025, the exhibition will continue as an "Intervention on the Passion" and is thus part of the programme of the PURPLE PATH art and sculpture trail in Chemnitz and the region. The vernissage will take place on 9 March 2025 and the exhibition will close on 8 May 2025.
