Chapel path - In the breath of silence

The Raron-Bürchen chapel trail in Valais, a historically important pilgrimage and cultural route, is the setting for the exhibition "In the Breath of Silence". In each chapel, hikers encounter selected texts from the Bible and the literature of Rainer Maira Rilke, reflecting the spiritual character of the place. Artists from the Valais and beyond respond to these impulses and to the chapel itself. Their work - painting, sculpture, installation, sound or digital format - is born of a dialogue with the architecture, history and atmosphere of the site. The path thus becomes a coherent space of experience: an open book in the landscape, where art, nature and sacred space come together, and where contemporary art touches the public space without giving lessons.
