The main theme of the exhibition is the effect of light in the space of contemporary sacred buildings. A selection of 25 chapels from around the world is accompanied by a historical excursion into the development of architectural work with this motif in modern architecture from the 1950s to the present. Individual buildings are presented on models of uniform size, created specifically for this exhibition, arranged around the perimeter of the main hall. In its center is an object, whose deliberately archetypal basic shape has been subjectively "cut out," and the remaining parts of the mass were subsequently rhythmically spread out and positioned diagonally into the center of the exhibition. The diagonal guides the visitor through the space, with niches formed by the resulting meander being places where glimpses – peepholes – can be viewed of ten light effects abstracted from the exhibited realized buildings, or describing some general principles of working with them. The overall impression of the installation is complemented by symbolically chosen colors, the concept of its lighting, and the selected musical accompaniment.
