I heart photo books
Andy (Flak) and Miki (Livebooks) organised a thinking about photo books' future.
I don't really know what it will be and I'm not sure to have a very imaginative thinking.
I love photo books, and my favorites are not master pieces. I love having collectible items, signed, small editions, something not so many own (among others Wassik Lundgren, Gottlund Verlag, Dave Potes fanzine, Farewell, etc...)
I have always gone indie, not only for photography.
Showing photographers on this blog is great, I do enjoy it, even when I'm tired, even if I spend most of my evenings in my living room and not going out, even if I do it on top of my daily job.
LOZ is a kind of live book I have been curating.
I want to go further than that. Further than the web. Further than the non touchable world.
Which is why I have launched Lozen up and its first book last month (here).
Not so easy, but the blog and the publishing make me stronger every day.
Back to the future of photo books I totally disagree with the ones that said everything should be scaned and shown page by page on the Internet.
I enjoy the paper, the mat or glossy, the different formats, the experience.
For an art piece nothing is better than live/museum experience. I can't afford a few prints, but i can buy many books.
When i started working on publishing, I have realised photographers, graphic designers, etc... are short-minded about their works and about publishing.
We have so many tools now, that we can think things different and support photographs with soft cover, a few pictures per page, a different design...
I do think we need to open our eyes to something funnier than the classic format. Not everybody is Sugimoto, or Avedon.
Lozen up wants to work on a small scale and the idea is to bring the most efficient environment ("support" in French) to pictures.
This is why I do believe in the future of photo books, i just think we should bring fun, and lightness, sometimes.
How did all this discussion started : Livebooks blog.
