corinne vionnet - fotografias compostas por centenas de fotos similares

swiss/france based artist corinne vionnet has sent us images of her collection of travel portraiture. 
through online crowd sourcing of photogenic landmarks from around the world, vionnet has compiled 
several meta-portraits of around 100 images into one. exposing the consistency of how these landmarks 
are composed photographically but also visually capturing the ephemeral feelings of tourists into 
seemingly surreal landscapes. 

the project serves as a study of not only the technical means available to source this material 
but also provides a means to analyze why so much of the same material exists. perhaps there 
are unspoken rules about how we collectively photograph and remember the time spent in 
foreign environments or simply that so many people want ownership of the same monument 
that we decide on similar visual experiences. vionnet says "I feel the photographs of these 
monuments also attest to the admiration that is brought to them. they share the excitement 
and emotion of the unique time spent in their midst for each of us."  

whichever be the case individually, the work provides an inspiring view of human creation 
and the documentation of it over time.
