If you see this church from a certain angle, you’ll be sure that is in fact a church. You might even start to walk towards it. It is the only church in the immediate area, so you might be thinking, “ah-ha! I have finally found a church!”
At first, just the right side body of the building begins to fade into the surrounding green scenery, and then before you know it, the whole church is practically invisible.
So what is this church, and how does it appear visible one moment, and invisible the next? Take a look at these photos of the mysteriously vanishing church to see for yourself, one minute it’s there and the next it’s gone!
The local contemporary art museum, located in the city of Hasselt, has been running a project titled, “Art in Public Space.” This movement includes the work of 10 or so artists displayed throughout the Borgloon-Heers region. The Reading between the Lines artwork is considered a part of this collection.
This unique church has the ability to disappear into its scenic surroundings in only a matter of seconds, all depending on what angle you are looking at it from.
The church is located in Limburg, Belgium, and was created as an art installation by design duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh.
