Monastic (2014–2019)
The Monastic series unites photographs taken in iconic European monasteries, where Friederike von Rauch lived and worked between 2014 and 2019. With a precise eye for architectural detail, she captures the contemplative atmosphere of these interiors while subtly detaching them from their religious function.
Featured sites include Le Corbusier’s Sainte Marie de La Tourette near Lyon, Hans van der Laan’s Roosenberg Abbey near Antwerp, and Andrea Palladio’s Monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice.
