The Renunciation is a performed reading that intervened respectfully but determinedly in the reflective space that is occupied by the Angelus. Despite efforts to secularise our social and public spaces or, at the very least, to ensure that no single faith/non-faith dominates them to the exclusion or disadvantage of others, the Angelus continues to peal out on our streets and in many of our hospitals and schools in commemoration of a well-known Biblical story: the Annunciation. The Angelus apparently commemorates the incarnation of Jesus via Mary’s ear on her hearing of God’s request to bear his son from the angel Gabriel. We hear it anywhere there is a residue of Catholic influence in our society. This work was developed by the home|work Collective as a challenge to that influence, garnering the title The Renunciation.

弃绝

弃绝是一种进行的阅读，它恭敬而坚决地介入了Angelus所占据的反射空间。尽管努力使我们的社会和公共空间世俗化，或者至少确保没有单一的信仰/非信仰主宰它们而排斥其他人或使他人处于不利地位，但Angelus 继续在我们的街道和我们的许多地方大声疾呼。医院和学校，以纪念著名的圣经故事：天使报喜。Angelus 显然是通过玛丽的耳朵纪念耶稣的化身，因为她听到了上帝要求从天使加百列那里生下他的儿子。我们在任何有天主教影响的地方都能听到它。这部作品由 home|work Collective 开发，作为对这种影响的挑战，获得了“放弃”的称号。
