The Norwegian prayer house has lost its previous function. In the series Behold, I am coming soon! Erlend Berge depicts how these buildings have been transformed, to a skate park or a shed, while we still await the second coming.

What do we do with churches in an increasingly secularized world? According to the jury, Erlend Berge presents us with a both humorous and thought-provoking story about how the buildings become re-functioned and take on a new life, asking where has our shepherd gone?
