Monk

Bettina Seitz | Peter Martin & Fionn Rogers

Monk reflects on the rituals of early Christian monks living in isolated, monastic settlements off the west coast of Ireland from the 6th century.

Monk is the final part of a trilogy of collaborations between sculptor Bettina Seitz and videographers Peter Martin and Fionn Rogers, following Underwave (Seitz & Rogers 2020) and Ancestors (Seitz, Martin & Rogers 2021).
