Man does not live by bread alone. Being human also means searching for the meaning of our existence; for the mystery that surrounds our destiny and the answers of religion. Un ange passe invites you to take a walk by the lake past seven pavilions - seven heavens.
An angel passes by: you can ignore him. Or you can regard him as a companion on the path along the seven pavilions. Just as discreet and unusual as the basic idea of the exhibition Un ange passe is its realisation.
With artistic installations, the small pavilions invite visitors to consider questions of life and faith. The seven themes of creation, blessing, word, life after death, sharing, good news and mystery serve as guidelines - themes that are on the one hand religious, but on the other hand appeal to all people.
This openness is reflected in the presentation: the focus is not on universal answers, but on suggestions for individual reflection and rethinking. The freedom of interpretation in turn allows cross-connections to be made between different faiths.
