Artist Erik Kessels created this massive installation at Foam in Amsterdam that fills the gallery space with a collection of every photo uploaded to Flickr during a 24-hour period. Multiple rooms are piled from floor to ceiling with a sea of images. What an awesome sight.

“Through the digitalisation of photography and the rise of sites such as Flickr and Facebook, everyone now takes photos, and distributes and shares them with the world - the result is countless photos at our disposal. Kessels visualises ‘drowning in pictures of the experiences of others’, by printing all the images that were posted on Flickr during a 24-hour period and dumping them in the exhibition space. The end result is an overwhelming presentation of a million prints.”
