cathedral.jpeg

cathedral.jpeg is a photograph of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague that has been blurred and distorted to re-create the effect of light casting through its stained glass. The window is not here but the afterimage is, like a digital ghost. Through the projection speakers, Hildegarde Von Bingen’s hymnal, The Anointing plays. This song was composed in the 11th century by a German nun and sounds eerily similar to the PS4 home screen music. I am interested in how religious beauty exists outside the promises of utopia or divinity. Or how broken illusions can still hold great significance and awe.
