Cloister

Impressive, timeless choir walls, mainly empty rooms, the abbey's monumental architecture: plain, timeless and most of all quiet, sometimes brought to life by monks and nuns. They represent time-honoured traditions of peace and serenity, qualities not often found in the outside world.

In my work I want to make that silence perceptible. Invited by the abbot Im allowed to photograph different kinds of ceremonies like proffesions and funerals.I want to photograph the differences and simularities between the life in cloisters around the world.
