| We're all gonna die |

I had an interesting email yesterday by an ambitious Danish
photographer by the name of Simon Hoegsberg who's spent the last 17
months creating a truly remarkable piece of photographic history....
His photograph entitled We're all Gonna Die – 100 Metres of Existence is strangely using an extraordinary dimension of image (100m x 78 cm) to highlight how incredibly ordinary we (well at least some Germans) are.
All in all there are 178 people in the photograph that were shot over
the course of 20 days from the same spot on a railroad bridge in
Berlin, most of whom oblivious of the fact that they would be part of
such an historical image. There are a few obvious questions that come
to mind for me... where the hell do you hang a photograph that is 100m
long? Can you still classify and composite image made from multiple
photographs a single photo? Regardless of either of these facts or if
in fact this is the longest photo ever can't I help but respect the
effort and concept.
Unfortunately our website is a mere 1000 pixels so we can't show you
the photo in it's entirety but to the right are a few portions from the
image and to view the rest please visit simonhoegsberg.com
