PHOTOBOOK AS OBJECT / PHOTOBOOK WHO CARES at POLYCOPIES 2024 (November 6-10)

This year, PHOTOBOOK AS OBJECT / PHOTOBOOK WHO CARES will be participating in “POLYCOPIES 2024,” an art book fair that gathers photographers, publishers, and book enthusiasts from around the world! POLYCOPIES, held annually in Paris, is widely known for its focus on photobooks and artist books. It provides a unique opportunity to discover and purchase a variety of photobooks and artist books from around the globe, and we are excited to take part in this event.

About PHOTOBOOK AS OBJECT / PHOTOBOOK WHO CARES

PHOTOBOOK AS OBJECT / PHOTOBOOK WHO CARES is a group of dedicated artists who have developed their works through the photobook-making workshops and mentorship programs offered by Reminders Photography Stronghold. They see the photobook not just as a collection of photographs but as a critical medium where stories and concepts are expressed as tangible “objects.” These artists pay meticulous attention to every aspect of book design, paper quality, and printing techniques, crafting works that foster a dialogue with the reader. At our booth, you will find works that embody the creativity and experimentation of these artists.


Book Signings & Interaction

Some of the artists (*) will be at the booth in person, and we are also planning signing sessions. This will be a great opportunity to meet the artists and learn more about the stories and creative processes behind their works. Don’t miss the chance to engage directly with these talented creators!
