Erik Kessels’ new book,
In Almost Every Picture #17, traces the photographs a couple take on a lifetime of holidays
Dutch artist Erik Kessels tells the visual story of an Italian couple, Carlo and Luciana, in his new book,
In Almost Every Picture #17.
Every year on their holiday, the couple from Vignola in Modena, Italy, photographed each other in the same location. At the start of their marriage, the photographs are in black and white before the couple take almost a 40 year break from holidaying to concentrate on their working life. Once retired, the images begin again in colour as the couple resumed their travels around the world.
