Inhabiting silence

Inside a monastery, the organization of space conforms to devotion while building and orienting it. The essentiality of the furnishings, the monochromatic nature of the rooms, and the absence of personal objects contrast with the abundance of religiously connoted representations: elements of a circumscribed and self-referential context that forges the bodies of the nuns.

This work is the result of a lengthy illustrative investigation in collaboration with historian of religions and anthropologist Francesca Sbardella.
