Marc Progin: Sanctuary Frozen in Time

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Sanctuary Frozen in Time is an exhibition that takes us on a photographic journey throughout Mongolia with Marc Progin leading us on a pilgrimage back to the origins of life, across a vast domain, where nature is the sole landlord and men abide by its laws.

Seen through the eyes of the photographer, Marc Progin, Mongolia is a haven of peace—an asylum for nature, wildlife and human beings living a nomadic life.

A land where, in the space of the immensities of light years, as cosmic dust in the universe, you learn what is humility.

A Sanctuary Frozen in Time where nomads signed a pact to live in harmony with the natural world and settled to live of nothing other than the fruits of mother nature—a heritage that Marc Progin perpetuates through his photography.

Sanctuary Frozen in Time marks Progin’s first solo show with La Galerie Paris 1839 with a selection of fine art prints spanning a period of shooting in Mongolia between 2005 and 2023. Three quarter of the works are completely unseen and even few photographs have been selected as a special preview for his new body of work titled Cretaceous set to be premiered in 2025.
