WORKS OF LIGHT Brandes Contemporary Church Art Danish Photos Coffee Table Book

The Vejlea Church in Ish is now considered a masterpiece of contemporary Danish church art. It has been visited by more than 200,000 guests during the last decade. In collaboration with Wohlert Architects, Peter Brandes designed the church's artworks: stained glass mosaics, baptismal font, organ, silverware, altar, globe, as well as sculptures and crucifix. The many hundreds of reproductions in the book show the stages from the initial sketches to the finished result. Through this unique documentation, together with the essays of three authors, the book endeavors to identify the church's expression and idea, and define why the "actions" of light and reflections make the church a place of pilgrimage. The three essays are written by Professor Emeritus of Art History at the University of Edinburgh and art critic forThe Scotsman, Duncan Macmillan; psychotherapist and author and member of the Vejlea Church parish council, Pia Skogemann; and philosopher and visiting researcher at the Sen Kierkegaard Research Centre, Ettore Rocca.
