A church built by two brothers who decided to do things their own way.
Darkness below. Light above.
Death, restraint, excess, transformation — all compressed into one impossibly vertical space.
The Asam brothers blurred the boundaries between architecture, sculpture and painting, turning the church itself into a journey from the earthly to the divine.
Maybe that’s why I felt so drawn to it.
I’ve always been interested in what happens when you stop decorating a surface — and start working with the space itself.
Asamkirche, Munich. 1733–1746.
