Art from garbage: Thomas Sitte transforms everyday objects into miracles

Art from garbage: Thomas Sitte transforms everyday objects into miracles

In the Evangelical Kreuzkirche in Dresden, this month is colorful and creative. Until June 15, 2025, the artist presents Thomas Sitte . Around 30 impressive objects are exhibited that combine everyday objects with religious topics and thus open up new perspectives.

The works are as diverse as a spring day. Among other things, the focus is on a no -stop sign that shines in new light, and the body of the crucified Christ. Custom has a fine sense of the tragic and bizarre, which shows, for example, in the remarkable women's head made of styrofoam, which is equipped with shovels as a crown and is entitled "Cinderella". His work "The Floating", inspired by Ernst Barlach, consists of a beverage can and is accompanied by a poem about loss and dignity. This combination of visual art and poetry ensures thoughtful moments.

Creative everyday objects reinterpreted

A particularly haunting exhibit is the "shelter", which consists of a street lamp, a tap and a mirror. There are also verses from Psalm 71, which give the installation additional depth. In his art, Sitte addresses the rediscovering of thrown away and its new meaning in the context of life. He invites visitors to deal with the fragility and the value of everyday things.

Growing up in Dresden, Sitte brings a musical training because he was a violinist in the North German Philharmonic Rostock. In 2006 he began to exhibit plastic work, using materials that he collected in destroyed environments as a child. “Life” is the expression of his belief in the aesthetic power of the inconspicuous.

The exhibition is accessible during opening hours from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sundays after the service. Further information on the exhibition can be found on the website of CRescendo Germany .

If you have become curious now, you should not miss the opportunity to be discovered by Thomas Sitte's fascinating works and to be inspired by the story that every object tells.
