Last Shot on Earth (2020)

Each image here marks the point where the shooting stops. A camera mounted on a car takes photographs for Google Street View. This is not a geographical edge, but a technical boundary—where the camera’s movement ends and the continuity of the visual description of the world breaks off.

These points form pairs. One lies on one side of a state border, the other on the opposite side, on the same road. The direction of movement is preserved: the line continues, and the space often appears continuous. Sometimes the difference between the images is immediately visible; sometimes it almost disappears.

There is always a stretch between them that was not photographed. The camera shows the space on both sides of the border, but does not cross it—this interval remains outside the image.

The map shows the points where the images were taken and the distance between them. The space between them exists, but does not become an image.
