Distorted images of holiness and worldliness in Swiss Cathedral

The "Heavenly Female Images" and St. Wiborada in the Cathedral of St. Gall (CH)

From 23 February to 26 March 2021, the exhibition "Heavenly Female Images" was shown in the Cathedral of St. Gallen together with a sculpture of St. Wiborada of St. Gallen.  Each work is shown either with an older and much more profound image or an image from real life.  The church is wasting its time with modern art.  It communicates nothing to the wider public and is designed for a "cultured" elite.
