瑞士下瓦尔登州警察阿诺德·奥德马特以缜密细致的视角，持续记录着街头交通事故现场。这位警员用四十年光阴，系统拍摄了无数事故现场与损毁车辆。

在他的镜头下，驾驶员早已离去，伤者亦被转移。唯剩残破的汽车残骸，无声诉说着超速、醉驾、抢行与种种荒诞失误酿成的悲剧。扭曲的钢铁呈现出可塑性质感，这些报废车辆仿佛化身雕塑群像，既宣告无数希望与梦想的戛然而止，也见证意外对秩序生活的暴烈闯入。这位警察因公务拍摄的影像，最终凝结成一组弥漫忧郁气息、时而荒诞且始终萦绕着诡异氛围的摄影选集，成为流动社会最独特的视觉注脚。

This is the French-language edition of the out-of-print book "Karambolage". The text is limited to the cover, the one-page introduction, and the index. Otherwise, the book is identical!

With thoroughness and meticulous attention to detail, Arnold Odermatt photographed automobile accidents on the streets of the Swiss Canton Nidwalden. For 40 years the Swiss police officer captured accident scenes and property damage.

In his photos the drivers have gone and the victims have been removed. All that's left are the wrecked cars that tell the stories of excessive speed, drunk driving, right-of-way errors and plain follishness. The deformed steel takes on a malleable quality. The cars become sculptures that show the sudden end to many hopes and dreams, the intrusion of the unforeseen into well-regulated daily life. What results from the picture-taking policeman's official work is a selection of melancholic, sometimes funny and always strange atmospheric photos of our mobile society.
