House & Ilynx?

From my notes on Caillois:

The association of simulation and vertigo is so powerful that it naturally becomes part of the sacred, providing a principle base for terror and fascination given by the sacred.
Civilization estranges us from their effects. (76)

I suppose then that one of my primary challenges may be to present the sacred through civilization. If we're dealing with a house, how does that house become a church? How to whip the viewer of my presentation into the inkling of a religious presentiment. Having just finished Bruno Dumont's Hadewijch, he does it through Bach. Perhaps I can do it through whipping the viewer into and out of their house, their church.
