Support #MoCADA #Museum #art #auction "My Collection" on view May 12 - May 24 exhibition that I helped curate for @mocada_museum opening this Friday 6-9pm. 80 Hanson Place, Brooklyn. Thanking Ethiopian photographer Abiy Solomon for donating this captivating photo of the most famous church in Lalibela, Ethiopia, carved out of the rock! The work is titled: "Primordial Modernity: The Raw Spirit of Lalibela III" 2014. Digital Archival Print 18 1/2 X 27 4/5in (47 X 70.5cm) courtesy Abiy Solomon (b.1983), is a photographer who lives and works in Addis Ababa. In his photography series, Primordial Modernity: The Raw Spirit of Lalibela, he offers a meditation on spirituality and the profound interiority of faith, as he photographs monks in Lalibela exiting and entering the hushed, dark spaces within the ancient rock-hewn churches. Offset by the bright sunlight that pours in through the open windows and doorways, the images are imbued with a reverent feeling: a contemplation of light and darkness, as well as the inner and outer manifestations of religiosity.
