“We’re All Gonna Die—100 Meters of Existence” is the title of (perhaps) the world’s longest photograph. It is, as one might expect, 100 meters long (100 m x 78 cm), and consists of 178 portraits of people walking towards and away from the camera under an open sky. All portraits that were shot for the picture (roughly three thousand in all) were taken over twenty days from the same spot on a railway bridge on Warschauer Strasse in Berlin in the summer of 2007. There was no set up; all portraits are of people who happened to walk where the photographer was shooting.

Simon Hoegsberg recieved a Bachelor’s in photography from the School of Media in London in 2002. Today, he works as a freelance photographer in Copenhagen.

This is a really beautiful use of this medium being both cinematic and interactive, yet retaining a wonderful uncluttered subtly and intimacy. Its genius is in its simplicity both of composition and the strenght of its directness. "bravo" Mr. Hogegsberg, you deserve a place beside Muybridge!

This is a one of a series of sketches I have been making on
different sites and doing my best not to have people view them.

The other choice would to put them on walls but neither have that many flat-screens nor the wall-space, so here they reside until i can put them into one box.
