At the center is the actress, author, and composer Antje Nikola M\u00f6nning, who became known not only for her previous role as a television nun but also for her self-determined approach to nudity and sexuality.<br><br>The works play with the tension between religious devotion and physical freedom. Christian symbols intersect with a self-confident female presence. At the same time, familiar meanings of purity, sin, and moral authority are shifted.<br><br>The series comprises six analog original works from 2023 and three digital compositions from 2024. In the analog works, photography and acrylic painting combine, while the digital works expand the exploration of religious imagery through new forms of alienation and staging.<br><br>DIE BRAUT CHRISTI does not make moral judgments. Rather, the series questions how religious traditions and societal conventions shape our view of the female body \u2013 and what happens when a woman consciously resists these labels.<br><br>The works were presented in April 2024 at the Z22 gallery in Berlin. At the opening of the exhibition, Antje Nikola M\u00f6nning read from her book Nicht normal ist ganz normal.<br><strong><br>THE BRIDE OF CHRIST \u2013 Work series<\/strong><br><br><strong>Analog Original Works 2023<\/strong><br>6 Unique digital prints on aluminum dibond, acrylic<br>90 \u00d7 60 cm<br><br><strong>Digital Work in 2024<\/strong><br>3 Fine-Art Prints on Photo Paper<br>90 \u00d7 60 cm Number of copies per motif: 3 + 3 AP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":4854,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9868","werk","type-werk","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>DIE BRAUT CHRISTI - GOTT&amp;GILZ - Gott Gordan und Roman Gilz<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gottgilz.de\/en\/werk\/the-braut-christi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"DIE BRAUT CHRISTI - GOTT&amp;GILZ - Gott Gordan und Roman Gilz\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Zwischen Heiligkeit und Selbstbestimmung Mit DIE BRAUT CHRISTI entwickeln GOTT&amp;GILZ eine Werkreihe, die religi\u00f6se Symbolik, K\u00f6rperlichkeit und gesellschaftliche Vorstellungen von Weiblichkeit miteinander konfrontiert.
