Architecture of Infinity
What is it about constructions that take up specified, inflexible sections of space that allows us to experience transcendence? How may chapels be transformed into sanctuaries of contemplation? What kind of fences can provide limitless freedom? Director Christoph Schaub is driven by deep childhood memories to visit remarkable churches, both ancient and futuristic, and uncover works of art that carry him all the way up to the heavens and all the way down to the depths of the ocean. For this project, Sergé "Jojo" Mayer collaborates with other artists and musicians to explore how the seemingly abstract concepts of light, time, rhythm, sound, and shape can help us make sense of the world around us. They include architects Peter Zumthor and Peter Märkli as well as lvaro Siza Vieira and James Turrell. This thoughtful inquiry is transformed into a multi-sensory experience thanks to the excellent cinematography.
