in almost every picture - Erik Kessels, Sergio Smerieri

Carlo and Luciana come from a small town in Italy, Vignola, in the province of Modena. We first meet them at around 20 to 30 years of age, in black-and-white photographs. Many of these snapshots were taken on the road. This marks the beginning of their personal project of photographing each other in the same spot. 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. In almost every picture – same place, same time – we see him or her, but never them.
