People in height order
Late last year I saw a video called “People in Order” by Lenka Clayton and James Price, which involves people aged from 1 to 100 banging a drum (check it out on youtube if you never saw it). Anyway, it reminded me of a project that I had worked on last summer but never finished. It inspired me to finish it, so thanks guys. My project is called “People in height order”.
We start off with a man called Robert Pershing Wadlow, who according to wikipedia, is the tallest person in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. He stood an impressive 8′ 11′ at the time of his death in 1940, aged only 22.
We work our way through various other people and end up with Gul Mohammed, the shortest person to have ever lived, he was only 1′ 10”.
Here’s the graphic fom the video, hosted on my flickr site.
