The indusium is the innermost membrane of the fetus, here conjoined with a radical (to the roots) marriage of church and industry, both conjuring worlds from architectures of light”seen here “in passing,” in a wake of meat and fire.

“Indusium is a membraneous sprout covering groups of sporangia of certain ferns. And the innermost cover of the fetus, the veil of the sign of inception. The short picture leads us to three places: to a fireworks performance in Vancouver, a steelmaking plant in Regina, and a church in New York. If the church (religious faith) and the plant (technology of social ideas) lie in their tidings deep in the past, then the simple patches of fire light offer a different hope.” (Petr Kubica, Jihlava Festival Catalogue)
