Corinne Vionnet creates these haunting photographs by layering hundreds of tourist photographs on top of each other. The Swiss photographer trawls social media sites collecting everybody's different impressions of iconic buildings and locations, and combines them in a way that she hopes will "conjure up questions about representation and memory of places".

WGSN's A/W 12/13 macrotrend Hyperculture forecasts a proliferation of this type of art and method of creation in future, with global communities and resources being combined to create something new. "The web has broken down physical distances and also accelerated cultural evolution. Global networked connections linking a new generation of artists, designers and thinkers make use of old traditions while also transcending their limits to create something new."
