We're all going to die - 100 years of existence

Is the new series from Danish photographer Simon Hoegsberg.

He spent 20 days in Berlin on a railroad bridge, photographing 178 subjects capturing a various array of emotions and expressions. He then stitched together a single 100-meter-long (YES! 100 Meters!) composite picture, which you can scroll.

Amazing! I love the stark white sky and blurred air planes in the background and bike handles in the front. Worth exploring for a few minutes.

Artist to watch for - Chiharu Shiota

Like an infestation of spiders, Japanese-born/Berlin-based artist Chiharu Shiota wraps black objects from floor to ceiling in miles of black wool. I've only seen her work in magazines and on the web. I'm sure these installations are even more stunning and awe-inspiring in person. Shiota shows primarily in Japan and Germany. Let's hope she makes it over to North America some time soon.
