The publication relates to Jankowski's 2001 video work filmed at Harvest Fellowship Church in San Antonio, Texas, in collaboration with Pastor Peter Spencer. In the video, Jankowski collapses at the pastor's podium, and Spencer interprets the action for the congregation and television audience as a form of \"holy art\" — effectively merging sermon, performance, and broadcast into a single gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the book especially strong is the way it preserves that transfer between institutions. Rather than simply documenting a video, it reorganises the project as a portable sequence of stills, text, sermon fragments, and mediated images — moving between televangelism, performance, video art, and printed matter. This is very much in keeping with Jankowski's broader practice of outsourcing authorship and rerouting art through existing public formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sharp early-2000s title where the artist's book functions less as support material than as a secondary site for the work itself.
