Überschreitung
Crossing/Transgression

[3-4] To view Pachtners landscape in this church of God, using its occidental culture as a background, from this high perspective drenched in blue neon light, opens the inter disciplinary and cultural borders of observation and stimulates the crossing of them. Immanuel Kants question What is man? is again new and pertinent.
