Possible names include Anish Kapoor, Jannis Kounellis, Bill Viola, Mark Wallinger… The most amazing is a French artist, Yannig Guillevic, who will present a new project entitled « Jesus washing feet » consisting of a monumental painting and a holographic projection of Pope Benedict XVI.
It remains to be seen if the propositions of other contemporary artists like Damien Hirst or Sam Taylor-Wood will be not too provocative for the Holy See, even if their works obviously show some relations with religious iconography.
