Wings of Peace

Wings of Peace

Editorial Reviews Book Description Despite poverty, violence, and despair, there are angels among us, walking the streets of New York City. For Panja Jürgens's thought-provoking photo essay, New Yorkers of every stripe strapped on a pair of pure white wings and, if only for a moment, transcended their own realities to imagine the possibilities of world peace. Some put their hopes into poetic words; others revealed their feelings through gestures and poses. Photographed in a wide variety of locations long before September 11, the images portray firefighters, nurses, artists, veterans, bikers, clerics, children, immigrants: a cross section of the peoples and cultures that make the city unique. Jürgens could not have picked a more appropriate, promise-filled place.

A meditation by popular German rock star Udo Lindenberg introduces the 105 duotone photographs.
