Photo series question..
|
Can you think of a body of work about (western/catholic) nuns/priests? What comes to mind are those images in the snow..playing outdoors, by Freed, also Abbas and HCB. What else? Any portraits as a series, more contemporary? (beyond mom Theresa)

Yes, me too: Giacomelli comes to my mind at first! I love his work! There is also a Dutch photographer, Annie van Gemert, who has done a series on Dutch monasteries in 2006: http://www.annievangemert.com/look at “kloosters”, but it’s quite a ‘classical’ approach.

Here’s a wonderful Irish photographer, one of my favorites, whose first book was about one of the last silent order of nuns in Ireland. It was exquisite. I wish I’d bought it and am still on the look out for a copy to add to my collection.

there is a documentary, they screened it at the film forum one year ago, “Into Great Silence” by German filmmaker Philip Groning. It is a beautiful masterpiece about spirituality, it was filmed in Grande Chartreuse one of the world’s most ascetic monasteries, in the french Alpes. Highly recommended
