Transphotographiques 2001

exhibition hosted in the Church of St Marie-Madelaine, Lille. The Church is now closed for restoration. Not sure whether it will be used as a Church ever again.

And this was a "spectacular" staged in the Church in 2004. Inspired by Star Trek and not by Catholicism.

And on the other side of Lille, Church of St Maurice, in the same year. A modern art installation meant to represent the opening of the Song of Songs, but in reality owing its inspiration more to the psychedelic sixties. 


I saw once in this Church a priest inviting the congregation to join him on his side of the altar for the consecration. About half of a large congregation complied, leaving the two halves of the congregation staring at each other.
