Simon Høgsberg - 'We're All Gonna Die. - 100 meters of existence'.


 What this piece really represents is the irrational fear that we all have everyday as we prepare ourselves for school, work, the nursing home even—the unimaginable impact that our mundane choices have on other’s ordinary lives. This is about creating art that focused on the plain state of human existence, which to be honest is something I’ve never witnessed before. I like this piece because it documents human interaction in an ordinary space where people let their minds run wild with “what if?”. It tattletales on women and children and men who pass by each other everyday and never seem to notice one another. I think what it really means to say is that were all not alone inside of our own minds, and that’s beautiful. Finally, the piece raises questions instead of enlightening us with an answer, the foundation of all great works of art.
