Restoration at Gandan monastery

Since 2009, the Goethe Institute has collaborated with UNESCO to implement a paper restoration project at Gandan Monastery in the Mongolian capital, Ulaanbaatar. Old religious scripts are carefully cleaned and restored to preserve them for future generations. Monks and librarians are also trained in techniques to safeguard this cultural heritage. I documented this project for five years and exhibited the images in Mongolia and the Netherlands.
