Borrowed from Johann Sebastian Bach, the title Matthäus-Passion refers here to a composition of autonomous voices, in which each presence acts upon the others.
Passion is understood here as a state, one of intensity, where works coexist and test one another. The artist stands amid that which has shaped him, not to produce a synthesis, but to sustain its living tension, beyond homage.
Matthäus-Passion is a place where looking becomes an undeniably physical experience; where art history is no longer a backdrop but an active material; where works do not merely respond to one another ; they persist alongside us.
