Wonder

In the age of digital photography, we become editors of our own photographs, discarding all imperfect results. Wonder is about the end of an era ; the time that we all handed over a roll of film at our local photo shop, to return later and see all our memories transfixed on paper. But sometimes there was an unwanted surprise, perhaps the film jammed and 36 holiday pictures were taken on one frame. Maybe a setting skipped, resulting in a strange cropping or a double exposure. Because the photographers discarded the images selected for Wonder, their rescue makes them even more special for all of us to see. Rejected and subsequently separated from their original purpose these images take on a special life of their own, with a particular beauty in their accidental composition. Here a collection of rejected photographs rescued by Erik Kessels, Hans Wolf, André Thijssen and Sabine Verschueren are presented.
