gor chahal

installation at melk benedictine abbey

For his temporary installation in the church of Melk Benedictine Abbey, Gor Chahal engages with the tradition of the antependium, the adornment of the lower altar with richly decorated fabric. The artist installed nine large-format photographs that address core themes of the Bible. Three work groups of still lifes were completed for the eight side altars and the high altar: The Sacrifice, God Jehova, Bread and Wine, and The Miracle.
