“The Chapel of very small Creations” shows an animation of a cave-like universe made out of green
soft shaped rock-formations where illuminated creatures are emerging from the darkness.
The cave feels like a sacred place where sudden and inexplicable things happen. Small and gentle
creatures are coming out of the water and suddenly appear from the sky. They start to fly around. These
fragile and illuminated creations are the divine forces of nature.
All the creations are based on the smallest organism on the planet. To be seen in scientific drawings
from biology encyclopedia and from the drawings of Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) a scientist who
illustrated the smallest lifeforms that we mostly can’t see with the naked eye. I developed the drawings
further and gave character to the lifeforms.
With this installation I like to trigger the sensibility of faith and the longing of humans to be part of a
whole ecosystem, based on the belief that all organisms have equal value. Does it matter what form we
are worshipping ? Can even the smallest life forms give us a divine moment? When do we feel we are
part of the natural system again?
