Seven TimeSpaces, or rooms, are linked in a spiral
movement. In this movement past, present, and future circulate. In the spiral
of time the genesis, historical impact, and changes of a matriarchal pattern
become visible. In each of the TimeSpaces particular historical and symbolical
aspects of the pattern emerge. For each TimeSpace, and in each room, this
historical occurrence is illustrated through the leifmotif of a woman's
quotation, a specially designed pictogram, and a guiding image. |

The third TimeSpace, and room, recounts the freedom
and self-awareness of the Christian woman in the Middle Ages. She is the
avant-garde of modernity.
,As a matriarchal symbol,
the vessel, indispensable in daily life, stands
for the fullness of life and for containing and preserving what is
good.
As apostola apostolorum Mary
Magdalene with the vessel of ointment represents the everyday exchange
relations, in which ‚due proportion' formed the basis of societal
interactions.
The painted wood sculpture from the 15th century is in the
German Apothecary Museum in Heidelberg. |
