Belief is a series of personal encounters with a guide. These encounters travel through the city, framing it anew. Through them, everyday life is revealed in its endless variety of strange rituals, customs of "proper" behavior.

All of these rituals would be nothing without us - we enact them, often without a second thought. These are the invisible structures of belief, written upon us, by which the whole city functions.

But why do we honor these structures? What are we following? Why do we feel shame if we happen to lapse in their presence? And who are we, the citizens, amidst this perpetual labyrinth?

Belief opens a new perspective on the questions of belief and faith. This perspective stems from ourselves, our behavior, rather than from religious institutions. These institutions may be losing their grip on contemporary society; yet are we truly entering a post-religious, science-based era? Or is belief still a central part of our lives, its attention having shifted elsewhere, towards altogether different altars?

Guidances take place in three seasons: April: 16./17./18./19./20./21./26./27./28./29.4.
