Lili Almog’s photographic practice is centered on the depiction of women and their private lives. Almog, an Israeli artist living and working in New York, spent the past two years visiting nuns in three different Carmelite monasteries: Mount Carmel, Haifa – where the order was founded and assumed its name in the year 1200; Port Tobacco, Maryland – the first Carmelite monastery in the United States; and Bethlehem – the birthplace of Jesus. The result of this work, Perfect Intimacy, is an experience of the cloistered world in which these nuns live and a documentation of their state of mind, relationship with God, and spiritual identity.
