Emotional Fragments+ at St. Michaelis: Art that touches the skin
On Sunday, June 28, 2026, the Michaeliskirche in Braunschweig will open its doors for an exhibition that connects images, biography, and encounters. Emotional Fragments+ brings Jean Luc's collages into a special ecclesiastical space, relying on intense imagery, quiet reflection, and an atmosphere that resonates long after. The event begins at 5:00 PM at St. Michaelis, Echternstraße 67.

An evening full of collages and personal traces
The exhibition features over 200 collages that can be read as witnesses to impressions from the artist's life. According to event information, the first works were created in 1992 for the group exhibition Infectious at the Schwules Museum in Berlin. The project is complemented by 13 collages on the theme of the cross and a brochure with texts by theologian Simone Liedtke.

Jean Luc: lived experience, artistic condensation
Jean Luc has been living in Germany since 1978 and has been working as a collage artist for many years. His biography describes an artist who was fascinated by surrealists at an early age and has been systematically working with collages since 1987. He has also worked in AIDS support in Braunschweig, which shapes his perspective on humanity, vulnerability, and societal reality. His works condense photographic snippets into new, often tension-filled visual worlds. ([collagist.de](https://www.collagist.de/vita/?utm_source=openai))
St. Michaelis as a fitting place for quiet intensity
The Michaeliskirche is a historically significant place in the heart of Braunschweig and has been part of the cityscape for centuries. The St. Michaelis congregation identifies Echternstraße 67 as the venue; the community pages explicitly list the church as a space for exhibitions, music, and cultural formats. This creates an event experience for visitors that closely links art and sacred architecture.

What visitors can expect
Those who come to Emotional Fragments+ will not experience a loud show, but a concentrated exhibition opening with clear imagery and room for personal thoughts. The evening connects art, sacred space, and biographical depth. This is precisely where the special tension of this event lies: it invites viewers not just to look at collages but to discover them as visual narratives. Anyone seeking sensual tranquility, cultural richness, and a unique place should experience this event live.
