Fine Art Photographer Gabriele Golissa Takes Readers on a Journey Into the World of Qigong
MISSOULA, MT, June 18, 2019 – Tian Books proudly presents: “Qigong” by Gabriele Golissa – An inspiring journey of discovery.
Prize-winning fine art photographer Gabriele Golissa has a passion for skies. She paints skyscapes with her camera and publishes books on her favorite sky phenomena. Her journey through the skies started on a trip to Beijing a few years ago.
Today China is often only seen as the country of unfair trading practices, product piracy, environmental pollution, and violation of human rights. While it is certainly facing multifaceted challenges, China is also a country with an ancient history and a rich culture. Gabriele Golissa uses Qigong, the ancient Chinese method to health, to discover and explore a world often unfamiliar and foreign but nonetheless fascinating.
Being not only a fine art photographer, but also a health scientist and qigong teacher, Gabriele Golissa invites readers to follow her on a new journey. „Qigong – A Journey of Discovery“ is neither a study guide nor provides exercise instructions, but instead gives impressions of the multifarious aspects of qigong and insights into a fascinating culture and mentality.
“Qigong – A Journey of Discovery / Eine Entdeckungsreise” is not a common book and does not fit into any one category. Instead, it is a book for travelers, Qigong practitioners, lovers of art and photography, and fans of Asia alike. The book is fully bilingual (English/German).
