MARC PROGIN
b. 1945, SwitzerlandAdventurer, writer, poet and photographer Marc Progin has spent years crossing the Gobi Desert on foot, on camel and horseback. In his latest exhibition with Blue Lotus Gallery he shares his journey through the unspoilt beauty of Mongolia to help us reconnect with the natural world.
Back to Nature is to be where nothing else counts and exists than the moment and the place where you are; where an hour lasts a full day, where pollution is an unknown word; it is to be in a vast land of exceptional quality that has remained as natural as it was at in the beginnings of time, where man is rarely seen, where the air is odourless, the rain a beverage and the celestial bodies companions. Once you are there, there is no ‘elsewhere’, only a horizon beyond which you don’t want to see.
