Date & Time

Location

Hospitalkirche

The sculpture, created in 2006 by German artist Rebecca Horn (* 1944; † 2024), travelled through many churches, including in London, Mallorca and Hamburg. The last time it was seen by tens of thousands was in Berlin's St Hedwig's Cathedral before its renovation. Now the vertical sculpture is travelling to the converted St. George's Hospital Church in Lößnitz. As if from the centre of the earth, it rises up to the golden blue of the firmament. When visitors look into the rotating mirrors on the ground, their gaze falls endlessly into the depths of a shaft. When they look upwards, they experience swirls of light rising upwards. Experience a marvellous work of art!
