Architecture of Infinity
Temporality and age are inherent in every object and creature and, depending on one’s outlook, may transcend to infinity. How can this be imagined? What lies beyond it? Director Christoph Schaub starts his personal journey through time and space in his childhood when his fascination with sacred buildings began and his wonder at beginnings and ends. Schaub explores, together with the architects Peter Zumthor, Peter Märkli and Álvaro Siza Vieira, the artists James Turrell and Cristina Iglesias and drummer virtuoso Jojo Mayer, the magic of sacred spaces. These spaces are defined here as far more than church buildings. Who owns spirituality? The film follows “spiritual life” in architecture, fine arts as well as nature, liberating its audience of any limits of thought.
