Indian Matchboxes

Collected during Matt Lee's time working from Bangalore, these matchboxes are the tangible memories of his various travels and experiences through India. The random and disparate juxtapositions of the imagery encapsulate the mix of historic, mythological and contemporary visual culture in India.

We are are all gonna die!

The image is 100 meters long (100cmx78cm).

There are 178 people in the picture, all shot in the course of 20 days from the same spot 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 he was taking their pictures. ‘we’re all gonna die – 100 meters of existence’.

Your life, our movie

While using Flickr images, Your life, our movie creates different films every-time you enter a keyword. The number of images is obviously restricted so some images can be found from a movie to the other but the visual result always seems interesting.
