The Transparent Inflatable Church Kerk

We are used to classic worship buildings, the self-proclaimed philosopher Los surprises us with a completely inflatable travelling church. But this is not the first one!
A while ago we have already noticed the brilliance, but also the eccentricity of the Dutches. Whereas earlier we talked about the lego church (read here), today we want to talk about the transparent inflatable church Kerk.

It is an invention of Frank Los, a self-styled philosopher who for over ten years has allowed this blow-up structure to move all around Dutch. A total of thirty people can have access to it at the same time, a special place where they can gather not only in prayer but also to discuss philosophical and spiritual issues.

The traveling church is meant to represent a church in constant movement with its faithful. Los' project, however, was not the first of its kind. A couple of years before an Englishman had realised the so-called 'blow-up church' in Sandown, England. This is also about an inflatable church equipped with elements such as candles, church pews and an organ, all inflatable.

Here we are left with some questions: what will be the next destination of the inflatable church? Are you curious to ever see it? (Chiesa Gonfiabile Trasparente Kerk)
