Simon Høgsberg: We're All Going To Die - 100 Meters of Existence by Evan Orensten
Photographer Simon Høgsberg's new work, We're All Going To Die - 100 Meters of Existence was shot from a bridge overlooking a railroad platform in Berlin in the summer of 2007. 178 people have been captured in this impressive 100 meter wide image (highlights above and below).
The power of the portraits is in the subjects expressions—you can feel what they are thinking in the moment. We also really liked the scrolling interface to explore the photo.
Høgsberg's uncanny ability to bring insight into the thoughts of his subjects was explored in an earlier work that we also like, The Thought Project, which captures portraits and has brief statements of the subjects that tell what they were thinking when the photo was taken (below).
