Simon Hoegsberg // Thought Project

February 2nd, 2009 / Filed Under: Photography / / Tags: , ,

It’s true that I just wrote about Simon Hoegsberg for VewdNews, but I’ve found another project of his that is just beautiful.

For Vewd I took a look at “We’re All Gonna Die - 100 meters of existence,” an image that incorporates 178 people in a 100 meters-long panoramic.

Now I’d like you to take a look at “The Thought Project.”

From Simon’s website: “Over a period of 3 months I stopped 150 strangers on the street and asked them what they were thinking about the second before I stopped them.” He snapped their photo, took down their responses and chose 55 accounts that are featured here.

This is such a personal project–you are given an insight into exactly what someone was thinking, or daydreaming, or worrying about. Not only that, but Simon had such an intimate interaction with them as he spoke to and photographed them!

A voyeuristic project, sure, but also a touching, snapshot of life.

What do YOU think?
