Dormitio Abbey at Mount Zion, a rather unusual place for modern art installation - just at first sight. 2,000 white paper doves, a symbol of the "spirit", but also of peace float though the nave of the church as an almost 30 metre long sculpture. They soar through the air like a filigree, mobile swarm - quietly and playfully they integrate the air current into their movement, exuding an atmosphere of almost magical, symbolic tranquillity and strength in this special place.
Accompanied by a mystical soundcloud from the Munich electro-pop formation Digital Haze and a light show, this multimedia installation creates a fascinating art event. The doves make a mark, putting aside all dogmatism and - however simple they are - sending out astrong symbol for a more peaceful world.
