The solo exhibition “Eye to Eye” by artist Veronika Veit (born in Munich in 1968) takes as its subject the life situation of man in a society defined by media processes. Veit’s work raises the question as to what extent modern man has traded in faith and the capacity for spiritual experience for the virtual reality of the media.

The exhibition is on view at the Church of St. John the Evangelist in Auguststrasse in Berlin-Mitte. For her installation, Veit transformed the church interior into a course of sculptures and computer animations that can be aesthetically experienced by the visitor. It is this very interplay of sculptural and digital art, consciously juxtaposed against a sacred background, that highlights the connections between a virtual fantasy world and reality.
