Welcome to Photobook Week Aarhus!
We are a small festival dedicated for a decade to the photographic book as a medium of artistic production. This year, we will publish a book that draws on the experiences and learnings of these the last ten years. The contributions are based on artist talks, panels, keynote speeches and presentations in the framework of the festival, edited and revisited to reflect the main aspects of the photobook.
The book is structured in five chapters, which are introduced by the editors and build up the framework of the content. Important aspects to be treated include the histories of the photobook medium, its relation to Architecture and Artificial Intelligence, and the many roles of the photobook in art and society, in the center and the periphery. It will also cover practical issues such as how to research, collect, distribute and showcase photobooks. The book concludes with a reflection on what the next ten years will bring for the makers, collectors, scholars and lovers of photographic publications.
