To hold this book in your hands is to hold people’s advice, fears, hopes, joys, and reflections. Opening the cover marks the beginning of a fascinating journey through ten major metropolises in the year 2000 — but even more so, a journey through the emotions and thoughts that unite us across the world.

This is a unique time capsule from the turn of the millennium, capturing the state of the world, what was on people’s minds, and their advice to the future. A beautiful and compelling coffee-table book that reminds us what it means to be human — across time, place, and generations.

This book is a must-have for lovers of portrait photography and documentary projects — but equally for those drawn to the philosophical and poetic aspects of being human in a vast world, sharing the time we have together.
