Produktbeschreibung
Meet George Kingswood, a modern-day alchemist who doesn't work with lead or gold, but with light, shadow, and silver nitrate. The heir to a hidden lineage of spiritual alchemists, Kingswood uses photography to transmute his soul, his earthly reality, and even to collaborate with the dead. Blending rich historical insight with esoteric wisdom, this book unveils a revelation: the forgotten bond between alchemy and photography. This account examines the medieval laboratories where scholars sought the Philosopher's Stone, as well as the 19th-century pioneers of light, silver, and mercury, including Louis Daguerre. At its heart, this story is about Kingswood's extraordinary practice: a fusion of ancient Egyptian ritual, sacred darkroom chemistry, and visionary art. Part history, part mystical memoir, part photographic grimoire, A Feather on the Breath of Ra is for seekers of hidden knowledge, lovers of photography, and those enchanted by the mysteries of alchemy.
