Basilica Saint-Denis – the pediment of the crypt highlighted

Our goal was to make the excerpt from the gospel visible by only a small glow and to reinforce the reflection of the cross of light which crosses the altar and projects into the crypt. The altar of the basilica, created by the artist Vladimir Zbynovsky and composed of a stone plinth from Armenia, is topped with a glass dome which contains a cut-out in the shape of a cross and a lens to make possible this effect.
