Rural chapel near Wachendorf: concrete cast around a timber formwork that was burned out, lit from above. Stacked concrete, then fire, leaves a charred cavity. Material transformation is the experience.

Highlights

  • Charred interior — How do touch and scent shape a place of prayer?
  • Oculus — How do rain and light land on the floor?
