A Day in the World, a photo exhibit featuring snapshots of daily life around the world, will open simultaneously on 85,000 screens in 22 countries today.
The 45 snapshots included in the exhibition were selected from 100,000 received by the organiser
. All of them were taken on the same day, May 15, by amateur and professional photographers in 165 countries.
A book featuring 1,000 photos will also be published, with a preface written by the South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
“The aim is to show that there are more things that unite us than divide us,” said one of the promoters of the project, the Swedish photographer Jeppe Wikstroem.
The exhibition is to be shown on some of the most famous screens in the world, including those in Times Square in New York and Europe’s biggest screen in Liverpool.
