You can always trust the Germans to incorporate something morbid into art- A team of German photographers has just completed an extremely thought provoking, albeit controversial, photo experiment. They've taken a series of portraits of people when they were alive and then again on the day of their death.
I'm having a hard time explaining how I feel right now- its a combination of a million different things. The whole 21 grams thing, the existence of a soul, the end of a micro-legacy, inevitability, how we will be remembered upon our deaths etc etc.
But most of all, I kept wondering how small we really are in the grand scheme of things.
