The exhibition Claudia Terstappen: Sacred<\/em> is a reflection on the concept of the sacred from a contemporary perspective in general, and from Terstappen\u2019s personal viewpoint in particular.<\/p>\r\n

Claudia Terstappen, born in Arnsberg (Germany) in 1959 and a long-time resident between Barcelona and Melbourne, has travelled throughout her life across the world (Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Japan, China, Indonesia, Iceland, Canada, the United States, and Spain) to explore, through a unique perspective that merges art with anthropology, the traces of ancient and modern beliefs in both the natural and cultural worlds. In other words, the enduring presence of myths, rituals, and superstitions in today\u2019s societies.<\/p>\r\n

Sacred <\/em>presents the sacred as understood, first and foremost, in its religious, ritual, and mythological sense\u2014as shown in her Altars\u2014but not only that. Claudia Terstappen\u2019s work also addresses the parallel sacredness of all things related to ecology and nature in her series on Landscapes, including the animal world, which she depicts as both sacred and mummified\u2014deeply tied to the inevitable destruction of nature (as evidenced in her series on Fires).<\/p>\r\n

The relationship between life and death runs deep through this exhibition, which combines photography with three-dimensional media, where the artist makes original use of ceramics. As is the case in her photographs, Terstappen\u2019s ceramic works represent fragments of nature that are worthy of respect and even veneration.<\/p>\r\n

In Sacred<\/em>, we find works from her series \u201cSacred Places,\u201d \u201cAltars,\u201d \u201cCruz del Romero,\u201d \u201cLandscapes,\u201d and \u201cFires,\u201d along with other pieces created specifically for the galleries of El Principal de C\u00f2rsega. Our deepest thanks go to her.<\/p>\r\n

With our sincere thanks to Palmadotze, Boutwell Schabrowsky Gallery and Dominik Mersch Gallery.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Exhibition catalog” style=”gradient-custom” gradient_custom_color_1=”#ffffff” gradient_custom_color_2=”#ffffff” gradient_text_color=”#c2721c” align=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”far fa-sticky-note” css=”” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2FTO_REPLACE%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F06%2FCLAUDIA-TERSTAPPEN_CAST_2025.pdf|target:_blank|” el_class=”custom-post-button”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_masonry_media_grid gap=”20″ css=”” grid_id=”vc_gid:1748956933412-c4ec7106-de3e-5″ include=”985,977,969,965,830,826,822,818,814,810″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWorthy of veneration due to its divine character or its connection to divinity\u201d
