“Stone On Stone” is a stop-motion video animation that uses the
architectural language of High Gothic and Modernism to invent a
contradictory history of their evolvement. The theme starts and
finishes with the vast and unfinished Cathedral Church of Saint John
the Divine, NYC. It is contrasted with Le Corbusier’s La Tourette
monastery in France, competed in 1960. The video uses this anomalous
but single-minded architectural vision as the foundation for a new
emergence of Gothic religious expression, resulting in a complete and
unified fantasy cathedral – akin to the building that the Church of
Saint John might have aspired to be.
