[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 830721, member: 53455"] [B]A choir of white marble (2022)[/B] The parochial Romanesque church of Melle, a small town of about 6,000 inhabitants in western France, features a modern choir “installation” created in 2011 by French artist Mathieu Lehanneur —a designer better known today for having created the very large flying “basin” in which the Olympic flame was lit for the 2024 Paris Games. This large decorative and functional piece is made of white Namibian marble and incorporates as seamlessly as possible everything that is needed for the performing of liturgy, including a baptismal font, which you can see here. It allows baptisms by (at least partial) immersion, in the traditional manner, and the font has six sides, as required by tradition as well. A lot of attention has been brought to many traditional details, in spite of the picture-perfect, machine-made modernity of it all. Nikon Z7 II, Nikkor 19mm, ƒ/4 PC-E tilt-shift lens, manual focus, FTZ II adapter? Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head. Natural light. [ATTACH type="full"]416978[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
