Through the visualization of certain works (pictorial, architectural and sculptural, both from the east and from the west), Melloni will show that the sacredness of art consists in opening the scope of the Invisible from the form it offers. The artistic manifestation acts as a vehicle to transcend the kingdom of form from the same way. The quality and anointing of the artist consists in turning the work he offers into a threshold.
