ABSTRACT
Dennis re-contextualizes the spatial iconography of the baptistery at Albenga as a visual diagram of bodily perichoresis, a movement of interpenetration and interweaving and a term that was applied to the nature of the Trinity in early Christian discourse, whereby God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit were thought to move fluidly through one another as though engaged in divine choreography. Perichoresis was also the basis of processional, bodily movement within baptismal space. This liminal space allowed catechumens to pierce the veil that separated heaven and earth and glimpse the eschatological paradise that awaited them after death.
