The article will consider the problem of the concept of physicality in the "spirit of the times". The time that will be discussed is commonly called modernity and post-modernity, a prominent representative of which is the artist Francis Bacon. Such a traditional problem of philosophical thought as the correlation of the human soul and body, in the interpretation of Francis Bacon, acquires a completely new discourse. Francis Bacon is an artist who thinks in philosophical categories in line with the problems of human existence as such. Human existence should arrive in an equilibrium correlation of categories: space, time and life, death. The narrative of the works of F. Bacon is the irony of human existence that breaks through pain and screaming. Through the observation of material signs - corporeality and their essence – the spiritual, Francis Bacon proposes to understand the question of the correlation of the corporeal and the spiritual, a discourse in the spirit of postmodernism. By means of the analysis of the painting "Portrait of Pope Innocent X" (etude No. 7), the concept of the corporeal as a structure is revealed, which should be perceived and understood in the context of the totality: the body as an individual, the body as an artificial construct and the body as a socio-cultural construct. Physicality as the sum of the three toposes of the body. The rejection of a stable, uniform understanding of the corporeal and the perception of its image as a stream that cannot be fixed in principle, allows us to identify the ideological program of the representative in its new senses. The ceremonial portrait of Pope Innocent X in the interpretation of Diego Velasquez is the essence of the bodily category, the portrait of Francis Bacon is the splitting of the bodily and the essence of the spiritual category. This is a discourse about a dichotomy, the basis of which is the splitting of subjectivity - the separation of the symbolic plane of corporeality from physical reality.

In the modern socio-cultural situation of the world, there is a change in the value system, which largely determines the interpretation of past meanings in religious art. Christianity is the world's largest religion, which has its own attributes of faith, for example, such as temples. The task of building temples in the context of modern times is to interpret the idea of Christianity as such with the help of new materials, new ideas, and taking into account the modern concept of human thinking. In the era of postmodernism, a distinctive feature of society is the high segmentation of various spheres of human activity, which makes the individual necessarily participate in all these spheres of life. To realize such an opportunity, a person is forced to accelerate and even superficially participate in one or another sphere of life. The trend described above can also be traced in the religious sphere of a Christian's life. Thus, a thinking creator cannot help but have a desire, through his work of art, to return the Christian's thought to the mainstream of Christian aesthetics, which states that communication with God is comprehended through sensory cognition, through beauty and art. Religious revival is impossible without the restoration, preservation and use of cult art – the most important component of church life. The subject of this research is the study of the theological, material and index signs of the cult architectural structure "Church of Light". In the study of the "Church of Light" designed and built by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando in 1989 in Osaka, a conceptual approach will be used to take into account the modern reflection of old meanings.
