I recently saw a short film called The Chapel which is from filmmaker Patrick Kizny. It is a high-def timelapse film that explores the interior of a decrepit Protestant church in Zeliszów, Poland, designed by architect Karl Langhans and built in 1796-1797. It has obviously been in a horrible state of disrepair for many years but Kizny manages to evoke the architectural beauty of the building with his moody film. At first, I thought it was all computer generated, like a video game, but this is real photography. And a great and real building. If you are a fan of the art in great architecture, this is quite striking.
If you are interested in seeing how the photography and look of this film came about, I have included The Making of The Chapel below.
Thanks to Via Lucis, a terrific site specializing in the photography of religious architecture, for pointing out this film.
