Congratulations to Guy and his collaborators on this
amazing photograph ! It has the aura of a late 1800's cyclorama,
and embodies echoes of Nicephore Niepce's "View from his window at
Gras", one of the earliest photographs ever made. Like Niepce's,
it is a view from a window, of other buildings, using a camera
obscura, and a long exposure (Niepce's was 8+ hrs).
I do not consider events like this a stunt. They push back the horizon,
effectively creating fertile, new conceptual ground for exploration.
[I like to think of things like this as a "dream engine".]
Hopefully, the team will find sponsorship for this work to be seen
and furnish inspiration and wonder to countless viewers.

Ps. For those interested in this type of image, I urge you to search for
Abelardo Morrel's (sp ?) work on the web. It has some methodological
similarities, yet is very different.
