‘As Numerous As The Stars Of Heaven’

1200th Anniversary of the Münster Diocese

Gabriele Wilpers finds her own language of remembrance to mark the 1200 anniversary celebrations of the Münster Diocese.

A medieval thimble that was found during the excavation of the Überwasser Convent in Münster inspired the Essen-based artist Gabriele Wilpers to design an installation for the nearby Gothic-style Liebfrauen–Überwasser Church.

For the opening night, Gabriele Wilpers invited Anke Loh to develop an artwork in connection to her approach of the 1200th anniversary celebration. Two dresses made out of bread dough were installed on tables in the altar and entrance space of the church.
