Photo Opportunities: Hundreds of Tourist Photos as One

Conducting online keyword searches for world-famous monuments and tourist hotspots, visual artist Corinne Vionnet culled thousands of tourists’ snapshots for her series Photo Opportunities. Each image in the series was created by superimposing hundreds of pictures of the monuments — the effect is quite haunting and ethereal, and inevitably wistful.


Saint Basil’s Cathedral, Moscow


Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China


Taj Mahal, India


Mecca, Saudi Arabia


Acropolis of Athens, Greece


The (former) World Trade Center, New York


Coliseum of Rome, Italy


Eiffel Tower, Paris, France


Himeji Castle, Japan

Head on over to My Modern Met for more from the series.
