Air – the invisible volume of a space – plays a special role in church interiors: as the carrier of sound for word and music, as the medium of breath, and not least as a symbol of the spirit which, as an invisible force, connects heaven and earth, God and humankind. For St. Matthew’s Church, Nadine Schemmann has developed a site-specific installation that makes the church’s volume of air perceptible. Floating lengths of linen connect the architectural zones of the church into a continuous pictorial space. Colors applied to linen become mobile, living bodies that contain layers, depth, and energy within themselves. A visual dynamism emerges – a “current,” a flow of color that links heaven and earth, air volume and the architecture of the church. Within the sacred context, the works unfold a particular resonance: the church interior, a place of contemplation, openness, and transcendence, becomes both a counterpart to and an integral part of the painting.
