Anja Manfredi & Nicole Haitzinger - Glimpses into the stars became space

The exhibition and accompanying book project are aimed at mapping Vienna's sacred sites by adopting an artistic and curatorial approach. The globe, specifically the scaled-down spherical model of the heavens and its multitude of constellations, is our primaeval image, our preamble: indeed, our very existence is barely conceivable without our gaze up towards the heavens as we wonder what is out there. Similarly, the city bears witness to the existence and evolution of a multi-faceted civil society with all manner of professions of faith; it is also shaped by a topological order of spiritual practices.
