Kessels, Erik et al. (Eds.)
“Most people who survive a dramatic ordeal, narrowly avoiding death, are familiar with the urge to thank someone. Useful Photography #017 is dedicated to such expressions of gratitude via the form of ex-votos. Frank Kouws discovered a sanctuary in Italy where the walls are covered in ex-votos; small, framed collages, each featuring snapshots of wrecked vehicles and the survivors alongside their handwritten declarations of devotion and thanks.”
Photographs of tokens left by grateful car crash survivors, collected edited by Hans Aarsman, Julian Germain, Erik Kessels and Frank Schallmeier.
