Mario Alvarez's photographic project aims to investigate the theme of the sacred in its connection to our urban life. A research on symbols, signs, references to the sacred when this is confused and mixed with the profane of our reality, with the urban fabric of our contemporary world. The photographed objects take on a meaning other than themselves, demonstrating the power to become symbols of a sacred meaning of life.
This project is the result of a life journey, almost a thirty-year "pilgrimage" of the artist between South America, Europe and Asia, on a journey of research and faith. That same faith transmitted to him by his mother and which the artist bears witness to through his photographic gaze. A long journey through different cultures, religions and faiths, always aiming to search for a "culture of peace" in daily confrontation with others.

In view of the 2025 Jubilee, like a pilgrim, the project returns to Rome with video installations, performances, exhibitions and workshops that will follow a long itinerary throughout the Holy Year.
The first stage opens on 12 October with a video installation and a journey through the churches of the Rione Monti, thus starting from the heart of Rome.
