Despite the fact that each person is individual, each of us is a personality, being tourists, we lose this very individuality as soon as another attraction appears in the field of view, and a camera with a cap removed is in our hands. "Why photograph something that has already been captured millions of times on other people's films?" Asks the Swiss artist Corinne Vionnet, but asks this question not out loud, but with the help of his travel photo project Hundreds of Tourist Photos in One … And don't tell me Corinne is wrong! And if you don't believe me, then take your photo album, which contains photographs from travels, and compare these frames with those that the same tourists post on the Internet for everyone to see. Surely you will immediately find a similarity, because often these photos are taken from the same angle, from the same distance, except that the people around are different, and the time of year.
Probably, just by looking at such photographs in the head of Corinne Vionette, the idea was born to create from thousands of identical photographs one, a collective image of a particular attraction. So, after spending a lot of time on the Internet, and selecting 100-200 amateur photographs for each image, she combined them on a computer, and the result was somewhat surreal pictures, more like oil paintings.
Ghostly silhouettes, as if melting in space, once again symbolize that people are only grains of sand in the millstones of time. And the sights will stand in the same place for a long time, delight and delight tourists, and willingly expose their sides to camera flashes …

Levitation Photo Project by Giuseppe Lo Schiavo: Landmarks Soaring Over the Ocean
Art is an unpredictable thing and often transcends the boundaries of the possible. It so happens that the flight of the photographer's imagination leads to the fact that the ability to fly (in the literal sense of the word) is endowed with objects that are completely uncommon. It is then that breathtaking and amazing photo projects are born. A vivid example is a series of surreal photographic works by the Italian master Giuseppe Lo Schiavo, which received the self-explanatory name "Levitation"
