A gigantic spiral of symbols unfolds across the space of Sankt Peter, bringing together the work of artists and designers from around the world. Inspired by the circular form of the Disc of Phaistos, the installation transforms the church’s central nave into a living archive—an expanding visual dialogue between the ancient and the contemporary.
Sankt Peter, renowned as both a venue for contemporary art (previous artists include: Olafur Eliasson, Gerhard Richter, Bruce Nauman) and an active place of worship, becomes a site of encounter—physical and mental—between the internal visual languages created by the participants and the surrounding community. The spiral invites reflection on collective authorship, cultural exchange, and the shared act of visual storytelling.
