On over 300 pages of this high-quality art print, you will encounter the fascinating world of meditation. How does an inner journey begin to take form, manifesting as a silent communication?
In his photographic homage to the beauty and power of meditation, Axel Kirchhoff answers this question simply: by looking. This mindful pause is also the starting point for encountering the 66 protagonists who, in various forms, reveal their process of inner work.
Silent Portraits is a collection of quotes and portraits from a diverse range of protagonists. Alongside the silent yet vibrant black-and-white photographs, the protagonists provide personal descriptions of their approaches and experiences with inner work.
Insights into the effects of mental exercise, drawn from conversations with renowned author and neuroscientist Dr. Ulrich Ott from the Giessen Bender Institute of Neuroimaging (BION), round out the book.
