Postcards from the WebHomeHow many photographers does it take to come up with one great shot? In this case, about 50. After comparing tourist shots of the world’s most visited places – from the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt to the Matterhorn in Switzerland – Corinne Vionnet noticed that travellers weren’t just snapping photos of these iconic sites; they were shooting them from the same angles. Layering 50 similar frames found on the Internet, the Switzerland-born, France-based artist creates one dreamlike image, a superimposed carbon copy of the original. “Shared experiences create culture,” says Vionnet, who explains that these images – and the places themselves – become part of our collective memory. Now that is true teamwork.
