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.
Perhaps the most famous photomontage of the series is an aerial view[1] of New York covered with a grid. The image was also used on the cover of Superstudio: Life without Objects (2003).
