« Vis-à-Vis »
There is no photography. There is always only the photograph which gazes back at the viewer. Sometimes with a careful, tentative and questioning look; sometimes with a brisk or hasty glance. But it always offers something: an invitation to brief conversations. The viewer always looks, and the photograph, full of curiosity, gazes back.

Monks will study the Buddhist teachings and texts here for nearly twenty years.
In stunning imagery the American photographer Sheila Rock captures the asceticism and the deep spiritual life within this world. She captures the sense of community, the precise routine of song and prayer as well as moments at play. Rock's austere photographs give us...
