Series of photographic works entitled "Photo Opportunities", from hundreds of snapshots of tourist locations found on the Internet.
Corinne Vionnet explains "...These pictures are on the Internet, to be seen by any eventual visitors. I am just one of those visitors. It is the sheer quantity of these almost identical pictures that gave me the idea of superimposing them. I do not think I would have had the idea if I had made all these pictures of the same places myself. Anyway, the work would loose its meaning."
