Title A name given to the resource SILENT PORTRAITS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Axel Abdur Rahman Kirchhoff Description An account of the resource SILENT PORTRAITS — Axel Kirchhoff What becomes visible when a person turns inward? In SILENT PORTRAITS, Axel Kirchhoff explores this question through 122 black-and-white portraits of 66 practitioners from more than 27 contemplative traditions. The portraits look beyond outward identity to explore what is revealed in moments of stillness. At the heart of the project are opening up, recognising and letting go. Accompanied by 66 personal quotations, the photographs invite close attention to each person’s presence and individuality—and leave space for the viewer’s own reflection. Rather than explaining the inner world, SILENT PORTRAITS invites us to look closely at what lies beyond words. Published by Seltmann Publishers, this German–English hardcover combines approximately 320 pages of photography and text with design by Roland Stieger of TGG and printing by Niedermann Druck in St. Gallen. A book for readers drawn to portrait photography, contemplative practice and the quiet complexity of human expression. Explore the book and purchase your copy at www.silent-portraits.ch.
