DAS KÖLNER HEIL
Photobook

Cologne salvation (Das Kölner Heil)

Power and Rituals of Roman Catholic Church
Photography 1986-1996

The documentary photography of Bernd Arnold in the monograph DAS KÖLNER HEIL shows the hermetic and hierarchic world of the clergy of the Cologne Catherdral. It is marked by merit and mercy, by sorrow and hope, by sin and salvation. The photographs analyse the power structures of an autonomic system of salvation, surviving seemingly untouched by all developments of our century.
