Arielle Grasser / Relics

June 2014

Diploma project by Arielle Grasser
Master of Arts in Spaces and Communication
Project led by par Noam Toran

 

Many pieces of cross supposedly belonging to the crucifixion of Jesus today continue to be revered everywhere. Jesus' relics are fragments of evidence to support the stories of the Bible.
If on one side the Vatican and many cathedrals have these crosses as authentic relics, many scientists and theologians contest the its validity.
Arielle Grasser listed all the scattered pieces of the cross throughout the world and has devised an alternative scenario for the end of the life of Jesus using the same mass of wood as identified.
This project is an observation on the manipulation of history, of religion that produces a quantity of representations and objects. Grasser seizes fake and error to create a new story and so change the Christian iconography.
