Photographer Thibaud Poirier captures modernist church interiors around the world in his photograph series ‘Sacred Spaces’. It is explained on the official site of the series ‘Architecturally, Thibaud Poirier was inspired by the astounding variety of church design. There are only but a few physical signs that bind them together: a visual focal point, usually but not always a cross, rows of seating trained on the visual cue, and a space clearly designed to spark wonder, reflection, devotion.’
