The altarpiece and the altar stand outline an area within a sanctuary that is figuratively closest to God. The altar stand is a kind of a control room, through which the secular entourage of god monitors and controls the congregation. The altar embodies the mystical and secret core of religions, which priests, bishops and prophets transmit and interpret to the congregation.

In the work, the imagery of altarpieces is replaced by figures that hover in the space carrying out the three main religions’ prayer rituals. The praying figures can be effaced at any given moment to an unknown other level through a hatch in the ceiling. When religious symbols and effects have been removed from the praying ritual, all that remains are bodies repeating gestures without any magical powers.
