Chalklines

Chalklines is the second collection of the 'By Accident' archive. Photographs shot by my grandfather working as a collision investigator in the 60ies and 70ies. Chalk was used to visualize the trajectory of the vehicles involved. In these photographs it often creates a focus point where otherwise there would be none. Sometimes the chalk almost seems burnt into the image. Pure white in sharp contrast to the brutality of a car crash.
