Friederike Von Rauch: Monastic (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783868595918)

Majestically austere photographs of monastic interior spaces by Friederike von Rauch

Berlin-based artist Friederike von Rauch (born 1967) uses a medium-format camera to depict monastic interiors. Collected here, these photographs--absent of human figures with a delicate balance of light and dark--capture the contemplative power of monastic spaces without an emphasis on their religious context.
