Angels are magnificent messenger spirits who flourished in pagan art, the Scriptures and Renaissance paintings. This century they have rarely been sighted beyond the Christmas season, but during the 1990s thousands of ordinary individuals claim to have encountered 'real' angels, while growing numbers believe in their existence as beneficient guardian figures. The renewed popularity of angels has generated Hollywood films, best-selling books which recount first-hand angelic experiences and even shops which specialise in angelic products. This trend continues to gain momentum and looks set to continue into the 21st century. Here, Seraphim document and explore this extraordinary phenomenon through an eclectic series of original photos and interrelated essays. From esoteric traditions to advertising, Seraphim offer an imaginative and provocative response to contemporary attitudes towards angels. Investigating angels within fields such as religion, art, psychoanalysis and the paranormal, Seraphim question certain aspects of the present trend and ultimately seek to reintegrate modern ideas with traditional systems of belief. Angels is an exciting and inspired testament to the enduring presence of these mysterious creatures within the collective imagination, which will appeal to believers and sceptics alike.
