‘Being mortal’ - expect the unexpected!
The exhibition of Christian and contemporary artworks on ‘Being mortal’ at the Dom Museum Wien is both a mind bending and opening experience.
Let’s face it life and death are both profound experiences that we all share. ’Being human means being mortal. Knowing that we are going to die has shaped societies, religions and cultures as well as their search for meaning since time immemorial’.
The art works from the Middle Ages and the present are juxtaposed to expose the intimacy, the drama, the sanctity of both life and death. Exploring the works that were scattered in both time and place was truly an inspiring and sobering experience.
