The work in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Matthäus at the Ecumenical Church Day is about these words. Several of them are projected in chronological order with two projectors placed on the mural in the sanctuary.
After some time a silent explosion fragments these terms and the resultant individual fragments are delivered from the canon of the altarpiece forms.
The divergent parts of words traverse the church, find each other again and form new words and textures.
