This is a photograph of a temple in the heart of Tibet taken by an Italian expedition in the 1930s. The description does not mention the expedition's introduction or the photographer's name. The temple, known as Ki Monastery or Kei Gonpa (in Tibetan: དཀྱིལ་དགོན་), is a Gelugpa Tibetan Buddhist monastery. The image bears the watermark of a commercial website.
(The "Interface" series depicts the web interfaces of various global museum websites showcasing Tibetan culture. The artist meticulously renders the navigation bars, logos, textual descriptions, and images of artifacts on these web pages using ink wash painting, highlighting the standardization and uniformity of the digital world. This provokes reflection on the discipline and control underlying cultural exchanges.)
