Let’s Get Physical! Interrogating the Boundaries of Photobook Making

This short presentation will discuss what seems to be a contemporary tendency to question and deconstruct the physical limits of the photobook. What does this specific practice say about current photobook-making? Are we witnessing the emergence of a different type of photobook and photobook practitioner? What separates these unconventional titles from traditional photobooks? Using several case studies, this talk will not only attempt to answer the above questions but also examine some of the central characteristics of photobook practice.
