Corinee Vionet's photo work - brilliant but different

[peterm1]

This Swiss photographer has been making images of famous landmarks by blending togther hundreds or even thousands of photos taken by tourists and downloaded from the internet.

I love abstract photos and find her work (if it can be called "her" work) beautiful.

Apparently the idea came when she and her husband independently took almost identical images of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It kind of stretches what we call photography but I like it.

Thanks for the links, certainly raises some interesting questions.

Not to steal your thread, but I just want to recommend something that this reminds me of. Jacob Felländer's work is currently exhibited at Fotografiska in Stockholm:

"An analog experiment with the intent to capture the entire world in one image. The whole world on a single, multi-exposed negative."

I read that he traveled with 30 film cameras and didn't do anything digitally. Pretty neat results.

Thank you for sharing! Very interesting. Her photographs look almost like sketches. I like.
