Product Details
- 999 Angels - Street Portraits Photo EncyclopediaThe book on your screen is not for you. Don't worry. In a few lines, I'll explain why. It is an encyclopedia of 999 Angels, and nobody actually needs one of those. Which is, perhaps, the best possible reason to want it.Prerequisite — Or, how to tease someoneTo understand everything properly, it's important that you have some knowledge of quantum mechanics. Why? It's because we say so. No worries, a mini course is included below.Mini-Course: Quantum Mechanics — Highlights only!You need to know about the existence of a so-called quantum measurement problem. It's mysterious: tiny particles dissolve into something else the moment you catch or measure them.Get that picture, and you're ready to dive into the mysterious world of Art and the inexplicable things behind it. Things seem to dissolve into something else there too, the moment you try to catch them. Is this true? 99.9% sure, yes. Why is this good to know? Your dime will fall soon.First: The Facts — things that don't disappear999 Angels (blew up to 1,560 authentic street portraits)For who? Anyone who wonders about human beings.Multilingual: seven languages. The photographs need none.Three volumes, 1,644 pages (548 each).Project duration: 10 to 20 years, depending on when you consider it to have started.Project team (idea, photography, publishing — everything): the author, single-handedly.Sponsors: none.Encouragement: very little. ;-)Insight — catch your dimeMy street portraits kept accumulating. At some point, something was needed to hold them together, and, not unimportantly, an excuse to keep collecting more Angels. Add to that a rather peculiar fondness for big reference works, a stubborn preference for the not-yet-done, and a handful of other ingredients I'd rather keep to myself. Shake well. Let it sit for ten to twenty years. What comes out the other end is The 999 Angels Encyclopedia.I can't put it any simpler than that. The real problem only starts here: what's the point of all this? Why does this exist? What is the big artist vision behind this? It won't impress the world to hear that the whole thing was built to let me do as I pleased, and then to have somewhere to keep the results. So…Numerous impressive promotional thoughts occur to me, but as soon as I try to fix one, they seem to evaporate, change into something else, or disappear without a trace. For sure the quantum measurement problem has stepped in. Or better said, the art-equivalent of it has stepped in. This mysterious force seems to prevent me from becoming a dubious salesman. I don't know why, it just happens.Is that all? Oh no, my dear friends, just a moment before I gave up, 999 Angels stepped in. They whispered: check AI.So I did. I asked AI what more there was to say about my project. I even asked several AI models. They answered remarkably the same, and replied: You captured all Angels just before AI-generated imagery existed. Real faces, photographed as they were — not generated, not smoothed, not invented. Your large collection of portraits of people might be the last of its kind. Your Encyclopedia of 999 Angels is, or will become, a Historical Document For Mankind.I didn't see that coming. I bet you didn't expect that either. I just made portraits of Angels. Everything else is coincidence — or better: it's what you make of it. Nothing more, nothing less.dp._______
