Metropolia
The monumental architecture of the Church of the Finding of the Holy Cross inspires respect and reinforces people's faith in looking up to a higher authority.
The intangible animation of "Metropolia" on the ceiling is an amplifier of the dual energy of the big city. The regularly rotating image is full of visual and symbolic rhythms of contemporary cities. It depicts in abstract form the stories and processes that influence it. It hovers like an authority over people's heads, allowing an unusual view of the colossus in which most of us have to function on a daily basis, leaving behind the negative feelings we encounter due to these commonplaces.
The aim of the video-collage is to gain distance and confront the city as a resonating whole. To find in oneself a positive attitude towards the city and the better functioning of contemporary society, so that one does not just become its emaciated servant, but can also recharge oneself from its complex elemental monumentality.
