Who is the new angel of the title? Reading Taichi Tomiyama's photobook is like trying to remember something for the first time in a long time. The black-and-white photographs are blurry, faded and cropped, never revealing enough detail to pinpoint a location or a person: when did this take place, who are these people, do they know the photographer, where are we? They hint at just enough to feed the imagination and to add the fragments together into something that is not quite whole, but close enough. In the afterword Tomiyama writes that events sometimes unfold in ways never imagined and come full circle, putting him back where he started, in a place full of countless images and fragments of time; standing there he is astonished by the spectacle of memories rising to the surface, and everything begins again. The Japanese subtitle places the pictures in Cuba, 2007.
