The church of Thaon
The New York's Cloisters

The purpose of this project was to reactivate the American cloisters brought to New York stone by stone with a satellite transmission of spiritual input from the medieval church of Thaon in Normandy.

Confrontation of two emotionally charged places: Manhattan and the isolated church at the far end of the vale.
Collision of two worlds: the New World and new York City, the ancient world and nature.
