“We’re All Gonna Die -100 meters of existence”

“The image is 100 meters long…” “There are 178 people in the picture, all shot in the course of 20 days from the same stop on a railroad bridge on Warschauer Strasse in Berlin in the summer of 2007. Only few of the people on the photograph seemed to know I was taking their picture” -Simon H⚆gsberg
