On certain days of the ecclesiastical year when the pastor turns his back on the congregation in Bregnet Church, he wears his violet vestments with a torn cross on the back. Whether the congregation approves of it or not, a cross hanging in shreds will inevitably provoke reactions.
Inge-Lise and Flemming Bau are the ones responsible for the controversial vestments from Bregnet. It is not the first time that they have chosen to employ symbols which set the imagination and mind of the spectator in motion. Since the couple started working with vestments in 1974, they have always focused on reinterpreting ecclesiastical colours and symbols in order to make them lively and relevant for a modern congregation. For the two artists, vestments are like moving pictures interplaying with the interior architecture of the church. At the same time they are also costumes which intensify or accentuate the themes of the morning services.
