way of the cross
concept
the way of the cross is transformed into a sound installation. its core
element is a large wooden cross which is carried along a path marked by
14 portable stations.
at each station, the cross comes to life and from inside the wood news articles,
read by a computer voice, become audible.
these articles are matching the current stations' theme, like defamation
or people sticking to their beliefs and being punished for it, but also
about people helping others in emergency situations.
while the pysical experience is strengthened by carrying a real weight,
the meditation is not focused on symbols but on real people's fates.
because of the fact that the stations can be set up everywhere, not only existing pilgrims routes can be medially enhanced, but also can selected places be layered with a new meaning.
