Special exhibition
The definition of the photobook is as broad as that of photography, and ranges from handmade unique objects to smaller and larger print runs, from self-publishing and zines to rare, elaborately designed and bound editions. The exhibition showed a selection of German and international photobooks from the last decades, with a focus on exceptional design and concept.
The interaction between photography, material, binding, form, and format offers many possibilities for experimentation and demonstrates the potential of the photobook as an artistic medium unto itself.
The exhibition ANALOG TOTAL. Photography today took place at the same time.
