Der Schweizer Dokumentarfilmer Christoph Schaub begibt sich auf eine (be)sinnliche Reise in die Welt der sakralen Räume und fragt: Was macht das Sakrale an einem Raum aus? Schaub ergründet mit Architekten und Kunstschaffenden die Magie sakraler Räume. Dabei geht der Film weit über kirchliche Bauten hinaus. Die Künstler denken darüber nach, was räumliche Spiritualität ausmacht. (Text: 3sat)
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 goes beyond it? The filmmaker 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, defined here as far more than church buildings. Who owns spirituality? The film follows "spiritual life" in architecture and the fine arts, but also in nature, and literally lifts it over and above the limits of thinking
