The result of 10 years of Photobook Week Aarhus is called Talking About Photobooks. Due to be published in the summer 2024, the book summarizes highlights and learnings from 10 years of keynote speeches, panels and presentations that were held over the years. The contributions come from some of the most prominent voices in the field.

Important aspects that are raised in the essays include the historization 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. Talking About Photobooks will moreover cover practical issues such as, how to research, collect, distribute and showcase photobooks. Looking back at how the photobook as a medium has developed over the past 10 years also paves the way to look at its future and discuss the relevance that photobooks (should) have today.

Talking About Photobooks is edited by Beate Cegielska, Anne Elisabeth Toft, Jesper Rasmussen and Moritz Neumüller (Editor-in-chief) and will be published by Photobook Week Aarhus in collaboration with Fw:Books (Amsterdam) in the summer 2024.
