\nThis picture shows a view from within the glass cone of the Galeries Lafayette in Berlin. It shows the view from above on a lower level with a bistro. You can see tables and guests as well as parts of the glass fa\u00e7ade. The concept drawing was created directly on site, so the image is not drawn from a photograph.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Series: Faith and Tradition Serial: Belief & Tradition<\/span>
\nThere is a tension between faith and tradition, contradictions between what faith was originally supposed to be and what has become of it through petrified traditions.
\nI have recently dealt with the tension of faith and tradition. Wherever I see it, I notice these contradictions between what faith was originally supposed to be (turning to God and the basis for a harmonious co-existence in a society or of peoples among themselves) and what has become of it over the centuries through petrified traditions: justification for wars and crimes, dogmatic basis for ideological obstinacy and means of manipulating the masses by few. It is not that I think of religion as a “opium for the people”, but rather that religions, in their present forms, are far removed from their original, positive beings. By the way, I mean, the Jewish religion is not from my criticism. Irina Gerschmann<\/span><\/p>\n
