The project

Andritzki Alois (Aloys also Andricky) was born in 1914 and consecrated in 1939 in Bautzen Radibor a priest . Because of his criticism of National Socialism in 1941 he had six months in prison, and later he entered the Dachau concentration camp. In 1943 he was killed by a lethal injection. The urn containing his ashes was buried in Dresden. His beatification process was opened in 1998.


In the Sorbian Region recalled numerous commemorative plaques and even a church window in the parish church at Radibor Andritzki, are also in Bautzen and Dresden, among other streets named after him.

With the means of video art is risky for the beatification of Alois Andritzki a modern way to develop this celebration. He does so as an attractively over the church and regional understanding transcending event. The installation Andritzki. Commitment is intended as a sign-like symbol to a larger audience, which feels drawn to the modern media image and wants to look behind the church rituals. It offers insights into the willingness of people to suffer in a totalitarian society for the truth and to give even their lives. Makes you feel what it can mean to follow the understanding that each individual is exposed to God's call to responsibility.
