Buenos Aires based Irina Werning returns with part 2 of her Back to the Future photo series, where she re-enacts an old photo using the same subject, location and style.  In this series she’s branching further out from her hometown and covering more of Europe and the US and has plans for the next lot to be taken around the middle-east.

I just love these photos and the wonderful juxtaposition created from such a simple concept.  The fact that she manages to recreate even the lighting and tones of the photos so perfectly is also bloody amazing.  Be sure to check out the rest of the series at her website.

This image is from one of the exhibitions on right now at Foam Amsterdam where artist Erik Kessels printed off every photo uploaded to flickr in a 24 hour period, resulting in over a million photos piled into multiple rooms.

“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.”
