1st Emperor - LINDA WOO - Limited Edition 1 of 3 Print

The Five Emperors were mythological rulers of China during the period from c. 2852 BCE to 2205 BCE, which is the time preceding the Xia Dynasty. All these "emperors" were people with great contributions or famous rulers of tribal unions. From the 'Bamboo Annals' (竹書紀年 - Zhúshū Jìnián, a chronicle of ancient China), and the 'Classic of History' (書經 - Shūjīng, records of ancient history of China), their positions are known to have been attained by election by other chiefs in the tribal unions. When they die, their children may succeed the positions of the ruler of their own tribe, but not the position of the ruler of the tribal union. Their power is much less than the historical Chinese emperors, generally commencing with the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang (秦始皇), who coined a new term for "Emperor" (Huangdi 皇帝) by combining the titles of "sovereign" (Huang 皇) and "god-king" (di 帝, see above), which is a homonym with the name of the "Yellow Emperor", the first traditional emperor (黄帝), who had absolute power over the people. This is the first of 5 interpretations of the emperors made by photography and 3D printing, then photographed and scratched. A manifesto against the obsession for perfection, the artist made 3 editions printed in Hahnemuehle German Etching®310 g/m² · 100% α-Cellulose · white. signed by the artist on the back, and with a certificate of Authenticity.
