The Church of Fear is a project in the context of the German theatricalist Christoph Schlingensief, who is known for his provocative actions, which deals critically with the spread of fear by authoritarian institutions (state, church). < / p>
The project was presented for the first time at the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003. Since then, the Church of Fear has been exhibited and guided in many places. The Internet presence is also part of the campaign.
This is provocative of Schlingensief-typical postmoderne kind, parodying the appearances of Christian churches, is played with the ideologues of a ruling culture and made them aware of it. The English name of the Church of Fear may indicate that the object of criticism lies in the English-speaking world, and specifically criticizes the Bush administration and its anti-terrorist policies
Among other things, the Church of Fear celebrates a culture of fear and the commitment to fear. The makers ask for evidence of terrorist acts and fight the terrorist politics of politics. Other activities are spectacularly staged pile seat competitions and performance actions such as "walking body" and "supper".
In 2005, the Church of Fear erected its own church building on the roof of the Museum Ludwig in Cologne and created a contrast program for the Catholic World Youth Day 2005. Weblinks Edit sourcetext
