SIGNED Michael Kenna's attempt to capture Mont St Michel in photographs is preceded not only by a legendary history but also by artistic and literary greatness. "Its abbey rises like a mirage, high above the sea, on this craggy, rocky perch. It is a spectacular sight, and one that Kenna has been drawn to many times over the years. By day, the island is alive with cars, buses, people, noise. At night, it becomes as originally intended: A place for peace, prayer, and quiet contemplation. He has climbed the bell tower, explored the crypts and chapels, and ambled along the silent lanes of the island. He has watched as the light changed, shadows came and went, and clouds subtly floated by. While his camera shutter was open for long exposures, Kenna cherished the silence. He sees these photographs as a personal record of solitary exploration".
