Following the opening of the Kassel Photobook and Dummy Awards at the MAKK on the first weekend from 21 – 23 September 2018, Photoszene Festival 2018 is holding various events to talk about issues and backgrounds concerning the photobook.
For example, 5 experts will be discussing brand-new photobooks or must-read classics in the “Photobook-Quartett+”; attendees will have the chance to exchange views about photobooks’ fundamental qualities during Wolfgang Zurborn’s workshop; or wonderful photobooks can be discovered in the Art Book Cologne pop-up store at the festival centre at MAKK.
“Photobooks open us new windows to the world, through which there remains much to discover. For academics, for makers of images and books, but above all for recipients. What could be more logical than dedicating a museum to the photobook?” - The PhotoBookMuseum
