La Gratitud | Dellekamp

Open chapel / Route of Pilgrim, Lagunillas, Jalisco, Mexico / In collaboration with Tatiana Bilbao s.c.

2010

At the beginning of the pilgrimage route to the Vir­gin of Talpa the road leads up the hill Cerro del Obispo and from there, contrasting against the sky, we can see the chapel Capilla de la Gratitud. This sculpture is part of a cultural, touristic-religious route of 117 km length from Ameca to Talpa de Al­lende, realized upon the order of the Secretary for Tourism of the state of Jalisco. An inclination leads to the wall of promises where the pilgrims declare their personal quest and the motive of their expedi­tion. And the same way we enter this symbolic space of gratitude and personal reflection which consists of nothing but four walls.
