Descri­zio­ne del progetto

In 2012, a vigil of ado­ra­tion of the Eucha­ri­st for 40 hours was plan­ned by the Arch­bi­sho­pric of Madrid. The vigil pro­gram con­si­de­red the instal­la­tion of a cha­pel for the Eucha­ri­stic Exhi­bi­tion, with a spa­ce equal­ly reser­ved for the Sacra­ment of Reconciliation.
Coin­ci­ding with the­se dates Madrid City Coun­cil had ren­ted a spa­ce for the instal­la­tion of a cine­ma in a geo­de­sic dome with an inte­rior pro­jec­tion screen that allo­wed an immer­si­ve expe­rien­ce in the film. The City offe­red the Arch­bi­sho­pric the use of the dome, some­thing that endo­wed the occa­sion with excep­tio­nal pos­si­bi­li­ties as it offe­red us the cha¬llenge of tran­sfor­ming a magni­fi­cent film pro­jec­tion spa­ce of 11 meters radius in an audio­vi­sual tem­ple dedi­ca­ted to the con­tem­pla­tion of the Eucha­ri­stic and the Sacra­ment of Reconciliation.
We soon rea­li­zed that the only pos­si­ble film for the audio­vi­sual pro­jec­tion of the dome had to con­si­st of the repre­sen­ta­tion of the solar cycle, with its dawn and twilight.
The focus of atten­tion was on the Eucha­ri­stic lighthou­se. We under­stood that a cer­tain geo­me­tri­za­tion of the lighthou­se would con­tri­bu­te simul­ta­neou­sly to pro­vi­de it with a gro­wth law and a cer­tain pla­stic vibra­tion. The vibra­tion pro­vi­ded by that geo­me­tri­za­tion to the column, acti­va­ted in turn by cand­le­light at the foot of it, sought to evo­ke the fire of the column descri­bed in the book of Exo­dus (13:21–22).
The dyna­mics of this pro­ject also allo­wed us to get the desi­gn of the prie-dieu and also the gar­men­ts worn by Madrid Car­di­nal in the act of pla­cing of the Eucha­ri­stic in the Mon­stran­ce, ope­ning of the chapel.
During 40 unin­ter­rup­ted hours the great dome was tran­sfor­med into a sacred spa­ce for the exhi­bi­tion and ado­ra­tion of Jesus in the Eucha­ri­st. The Mon­stran­ce with the Eucha­ri­st exhi­bi­ted on a great lighthou­­se-exhi­­bi­­tor pro­clai­ming Jesus, Light of the world. The walls of the dome beca­me a great cele­stial dome that is like an altar­pie­ce to ser­ve the Lord’s presence.
