Wonder consists of almost 100 photographs that were rejected by the photographers who had them processed and were then rescued and collated by Erik Kessels, André Thijssen, Sabine Verschueren, and Hans Wolf. Presented without text, the images are strange, magical, funny, and poignant; perhaps unfit for the family photo albums for which they were taken, they have found their home in this archive of 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.”
