Description:
"This collection of black and white and color photographs were taken in the Palpung Monastery in Palpung Parkhang, Tibet. Each spread consists of one numbered photograph. Each number matches a note in the back of the book which details the artist's experience while walking through the monastery: what he sees, what enlivens his senses, and more concrete facts about the people and what they are doing in the photographs. The footnotes create a dual narrative of the artist's experience and the converse experience of the monastery's inhabitants. The book lies flat so that the photograph's composition is unhindered by a gutter." --Printed Matter website.
