Nora Bullerjahn
Returning to Ibiza where she had grown up, Nora intuitively went to photograph churches and their surroundings. Nora's “Sacred” series delves into sacred symbols and cosmic representations. Drawing from the visual culture of Ibicencan churches with their modest white walls and simple decorations, juxtaposing them with the symbolic cosmologies of the more recent hippie culture plus specific elements of local nature, the series entangles different elements of Ibicencan spirituality. Investigating this theme through pieces that are as much layered in their symbolism as in their technique: photography, painting and gold leaf applications.
