Simon Hoegsberg : We're All Gonna Die - 100 meters of existence

9 february 2009

Simon Hoegsberg has a fantastic new project he has completed on his site, one that even trumps his "The Thought Project" if that's possible. The "We're All Gonna Die" project is a 100 meter long image containing 178 people shot from the same spot on a Berlin bridge over the course of a 20 day period.

"Can you love people you don't know. Have you felt your heart swelling in your chest in awe of the realization that those people over there are alive, and so are you, and they are probably fantastic people, and you yourself is a fantastic creation. They are so alive, look at them. You are alive, too, whatever that means. Looking at you makes me happy. I don't know what this game is we're a part of. We just accept the whole package. We could laugh, because it's pretty funny. I think generally we're doing a good job. At some point we're all gonna die. But this moment we are alive. These years are our 100 meters of existence. Enjoy!"
