Skopje, Macedonia (FYROM) 23/11/1979 “The installation of hanging pictures. The pictures exposed to directed light change their appearance.The installation is made by distribution of large pictures that are not hanging on the walls but divide and build the space from the floor to the ceiling, wall to wall. The installation creates space of immediate spiritual presence. It is not about religious feeling, but rather about the alienation from the spiritual side of the contemporary society. This installation brings us closer to the world inhabited by supernatural beings, archangels and saints. I aim at recreating, not by mimesis, the calmness of religious temples, the miniscule human presence and greatness of spiritual world. Many atheists and agnostics acknowledged the tranquilizing qualities of spiritual places and many religious persons felt the spirituality of temples devoted to a God who is not the one they worship. This installation brings spiritual into secular space and secularises the spiritual spaces. As the arts always did and will always do”. (Vuk Mitevski)
