Erik Kessels, In Almost Every Picture 17, limited ed. with vinyl, 2021

Carlo and Luciana were a couple from the small Italian town of Vignola, in the province of Modena. The couple made a small handful of trips right after they were married. This is the beginning of their project, black and white images, many shot on the road. Yet it is not until later, past the blank pages symbolic of their working years, that we really get to know how Carlo and Luciana explored the world. Black and white becomes colour, we witness time passing. Together they create a curious contradiction; two halves each with their own different motive, making one whole.
