This project aims to shows, in the era of global communication, the life and work of people who have chosen silence, detachment from the world, isolation from the noise of cities and from the virtual noise of social media.
A choice that today, in an almost completely secularized society, may seem counter-current. “SECLUSION” is a project that required a long preparation, a journey in 3 Italian monasteries in which it is very difficult to enter, especially with a camera.
The reportage “SECLUSION”, was produced between 2007 and 2011 and documents, the daily life of the Carthusians of the Carthusian monastery of Serra San Bruno in Calabria, the Poor Clares of the Convent of St. Clare in Rome and the nuns of the monastery of St. Benedict in Catania.
