Sculptural revolution: Helga Vockenhuber inspires in the pantheon!

Pantheon, Rom, Italien - Helga Vockenhuber inaugurated her sculptural installation with the title "Corona Gloriae" in the Pantheon in Rome. The pantheon is one of the best preserved ancient buildings and offers an impressive framework for your artistic work, which was installed under the oculus, which was installed with light -flooded roof of the building. This place symbolizes access to the sky and forms the perfect background for the central element of the installation, a thorn crown that is broken into seven bronze fragments and hovers over a water level. This representation addresses suffering and hope in the context of the Passion of Christ and addresses fundamental questions of human existence.

The project reflects deep spiritual dimensions, since the thorn crown is not only regarded as a relic of the passion, but also addresses the vulnerability and the common suffering of mankind. The seven fragments that symbolize the number for completion and salvation are significant because they do not hermetically close the pain, but make it visible and divisible. Vockenhuber is about using art as a spiritual resonance room to highlight human dignity. This installation was presented two years ago during the Venice Biennale and now continued in a room -specific format in the pantheon.

curatorial support and cooperation

"Corona Gloriae" is curated by Don Umberto Bordoni and Professor Giuseppe Cordoni. The exhibition is accessible to the public until September 16, 2025. The event will be supported by the Institut Pantheon and Castel Sant’angelo and the Direzione Musei Nazionali of the city of Rome. In addition, the installation is the result of a collaboration with the message of Austria at the Holy Chair and the Basilica di Santa Maria ad Martyres. The patronization takes place through the Dicastero for evangelization, which is in the context of the anniversary year 2025.

Since the bronze arts are installed under the pantheon's oculus, they encourage important topics in contemporary Christian art for reflection on important topics. Vockenhuber sees her works as reporting voices that invite you to deal with guilt, pain and hope in the context of faith. The installation is not glorified, but interpreted as a path to shared redemption and artistic expression.

A look at the artist

The artist Helga Vockenhuber, 62 years old, is known for her international exhibitions, which promote dialogical access to spiritual topics. She has been producing her meter -high bronze sculptures on Mondsee for over 25 years. After installing the Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore during the Venice Biennale 2023, she now shows how deep art and poetry are connected and how they can shape the religious experiences of people.

In a time when the cultural dialogue between art and religion is becoming increasingly important, "Corona Gloriae" not only offers a visual experience, but also a space for contemplation about human existence and contemporary challenges in connection with faith.

The context in which Vockenhuber creates its art is illustrated by the general discussion about the representation of the divine and the influence of art on religion, as the topic of Jacob Burckhardt and Johann Hinrich Claussen. Art could become a key for many to look at the complex questions of life and to understand in a spiritual light.

The installation in the pantheon is therefore a central place for reflection on the passing on of beliefs and the evolution of artistic forms of expression in a changing world.
