In the dim lighting of a grand cathedral, a stern priest formalizes a secretive ritual. The wide-angle shot captures the towering stone pillars, perfectly symmetric and inducing a sense of invariance in the viewer. The central focus is on the priest and his ritual subject, a bizarre, microradiographic device placed on the cold marble altar. As the camera pans, the priest lifts the device, the depth of field alters, shifting focus from the priest to the intricately etched device. The contrast between the dark interior and the delicate glow from the device enhances the surreal setting. Dispersion of natural light through the stained glass windows casts an alluring, yet eerie spectrum of colors onto the scene.
