Ex-Voto is a photobook by Alys Tomlinson, published by GOST Books in 2019. It presents the culmination of a five-year photographic journey to three Catholic pilgrimage sites: Ballyvourney in Ireland, Mount Grabarka in Poland, and Lourdes in France. The book’s title refers to the physical offerings given to fulfil a vow—humble objects such as handmade wooden crosses and pages torn from notebooks—which connect the pilgrim with the landscape. The volume is a hardback of 98 pages, published in English.

The photographs focus on the traces of devotion and the material details of pilgrimage. The sequence of images draws on the rhythms of ritual and terrain, presenting the subject through close attention to the physical intimacy between pilgrim and place. The book includes essays by Dr Rowan Cerys Tomlinson, Professor John Eade, and Sean O’Hagan, which situate the photographs within broader questions of faith, landscape, and the anthropology of pilgrimage.
