Il Monumento Continuo (1969-1970) is the best-known project by Italian design collective Superstudio. It consists of a series of photomontages of existing landscapes superimposed with gridded superstructures that would wrap the world. The first proposals were exhibited at 'Trigon '69' at the Künstlerhaus Graz.
Superstudio also created a five-part film series entitled Fundamental Acts (one is called Ceremony). This unfinished project showed the members of the group filmed by themselves in an idealized world devoid of architecture.
Perhaps the most famous photomontage of the series was an aerial view[1] of New York covered with a grid.
