10 COMMANDMENTS
15 of 15 Editions Available
An epoch is coming to an end - not that of the Anthropocene, it will last for a while yet. No, the epoch that is coming to an end is that of faithful trust in God. Religions can no longer explain to us why we have to suffer, even when we are not to blame. Today, people look for answers in their smartphones - but there, too, the principle of "Ubique daemon" applies, the devil is at work everywhere, most effectively where you don't expect him. The series "Ten Commandments" is based on pictorial panels from the Renaissance period. SB creates the 10 scenes as 3D environments in VR. With VR glasses the images can be walked through like stages and allow different perspectives.
10 COMMANDMENTS:
- find your self
- cultivate your strength
- ask questions
- accept the ignorance
- do not give up
- stay curious
- do not hesitate
- see what you try to see
- walk alone
- live now
Stephan Bruelhart (*1953) lives and works in Windisch, Switzerland and Berlin. With his analogue and digital art, SB playfully questions the digital age. He makes use of the almost inexhaustible pool of images that the tools, media and art history hold in store, creating a collage-like syntheses by deconstructing motifs and recontextualising them in new images. The result is enigmatic, humorous works that oscillate between abstraction and figuration and appear like sequences from a dream. Stephan Bruelhart studied in Basel and Berlin. In 1983 he completed his master's degree at the UDK in Berlin and worked as a professor of media education at the Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst FHNW in Basel until his retirement in 2019.
