stabat mater

Stabat Mater

Stabat Mater is a site-specific installation exploring physical and spiritual dichotomies. It was inspired by the work of Jean-Sélim Abdelmoula, whose interpretation of the Christian hymn expresses a profound sadness in its lyrics albeit a sense of elevation in its music.


In this installation, the image of a woman, arms outstretched, continuously singing and whirling, is projected on a translucent scrim in front of a wooden, life-sized crucifix.


Once the work was fully realized, its binary nature came to the fore. Upon entering the ossuary viewers were confronted by walls of skulls, the once-dark and silent space was filled with light and music, alleviating the gravity of the crucifixion by the ethereal quality of the projection.
