There's a residual fascination with Benetton ads, thanks to years spent plastering billboards with images of anorexics, death-row convicts and human organs.

The new work, by 180 Amsterdam, is tame compared with Oliviero Toscani’s shocking campaigns, showing us what the average face in some of the world’s biggest cities looks like. If you think you recognise the pictures, it’s because the University of Glasgow produced similar ones in 2013. In fact, the method used to create the composite images is based on a technique used by the Victorian polymath Francis Galton in the 1800s. These posters are no less eye-catching for being unoriginal, though. And Benetton’s history of using skin colour to provoke means it feels genuine when the brand comments on diversity.
