Die Fotos von 24 Stunden Flickr ausgedruckt

Sehr beeindruckende Installation von Erik Kessels, der so viele Fotos dafür ausgedruckt hat, wie in 24 Stunden auf Flickr hochgeladen werden. Das sind mehr, als in ein Album passen.

As you might imagine, this results in a lot of images, that fill the gallery space in an avalanche of photos. „We’re exposed to an overload of images nowadays,“ says Kessels. „This glut is in large part the result of image-sharing sites like Flickr, networking sites like Facebook, and picture-based search engines. Their content mingles public and private, with the very personal being openly and un-selfconsciously displayed. By printing all the images uploaded in a 24-hour period, I visualise the feeling of drowning in representations of other peoples‘ experiences.“
