EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the Wood-Carvers Workshop in Oberammergau, where Alois Lang, the Representator of Christ in the Passions Play of 1930, is captured amidst his craft. The image, taken by Otto Ballerstedt (1887-1934), showcases Lang's dedication and skill as he meticulously carves wood with precision and artistry. Lang's portrayal of Christ in the renowned Passion Play is evident through his serene expression and gentle demeanor. His hands delicately shape the wood, mirroring the divine touch that inspired his character. The workshop itself exudes an atmosphere of creativity and devotion, with tools scattered around and unfinished sculptures adorning every corner. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "Schau und glaube" (Alpenkarten, c 1930), a publication that aimed to showcase both beauty and faith. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Oberammergau, known for its tradition of wood carving dating back centuries. Through this timeless image, we are transported into a world where craftsmanship meets spirituality. It reminds us of the power art holds to connect humanity with something greater than ourselves – a reminder that resonates even today.
