After contributing in forums on my course for Representation about voyeurism and about legal rights when taking a photograph I felt the need to delve in a bit deeper and research in to the matter. I found a photography called Simon Hoegsberg who created a project called 'We are all gonna die - 100 meters of existence.' He photographed 178 passers by over 20 days sat at the exact same spot on a railroad bridge in Berlin in 2007. He has put all the images seamlessly together to form one long image at 100 meters. I like the fact that this project wasn't about how good the photographs were as he kept the camera at the same angle and height meaning some peoples heads are cut off. It's about just how surprising few of those people realise he is taking a picture of them. They are too wrapped up in there own lives and what they are doing to realise what is going on around them. It's also really interesting to get a split second insight in to their lives.
With this kind of photography brings with it the debate of if it is morally right to take a photograph without the subjects consent. Would you mind if a photography photographed you and profited from it without you knowing?
