Featured in this book is an amazing, deliberately eclectic, selection of vintage snapshots in B&W and color, collected over the years by the Collectif de Vanves. Another confirmation, if needed, that involuntary aesthetics mixes well with poetry, absurd, desire and strangeness.
More than "found" photos, these amateur snapshots were sought out, hunted, tracked down through flea markets and antique shops…. Every one was selected from thousands of others, in boxes on stalls or in hidden corners of the Internet. First forgotten, then fallen fully under the spotlight of the collector’s eye, they are reappearances.
