Peter Dekens : (un)expected

Fotografien und Text von Peter Dekens

In 2008 the mother of documentary photographer Peter Dekens (BEL)
took her life and just recently a friend did the same. West Flanders, the
region where he grew up, has one of the highest suicide rates in Europe,
one and a half times higher than the European average and twice as many as the Netherlands.

(Un)expected contains five stories about the grief of survivors of suicide
and the way people cope with their loss in different ways: the sadness, the grieving process, but also the attempts at finding a new way to live.
