Mongolia

Methodist church in Ulan Bator. A group of young girls during the service. [automated translation] Aus Gil Bartz' Fotoreportage 'We Won’t Die Sleeping'. Gil Bartz: ''We won’t die sleeping' represents my on-going photo project telling the story of former Sowjet countries. This episode is about Mongolia, concentrating on the nomadic life. The name-giving did not happen by chance.`We won’t die sleeping ‘ also is a very popular saying in Mongolia, strongly expressing the nature of this people. The big contrast between tradition and modern world with its progress is also taking its toll on the Nomads, forcing them to leave their habitual life behind to settle down near the cities. In the beginning of 2019 I travelled to north and south Mongolia to document the every-day life of some nomadic families.'
