Beijing museum opens 'supermarket' of images

As social media dominates our time, our lives are inexorably flooded with photos and videos, leaving many of us overwhelmed, jaded, and increasingly impatient.

"Each day more than three billion images are shared on social networks," curator Peter Szendy writes in the foreword of Supermarket of Images, a thematic exhibit underway at the Red Brick Museum in Beijing.

That feeling of being inundated by photos may be exactly what grabs visitors as soon as they enter the museum.
