Never has there been greater interest in the relationship between photography and the artist’s book - both as a work of art and as an alternative means of presentation and communication.
In its 300 pages, this important new book is one of the first to provide an informed, international critical perspective on these exciting developments. It brings together leading theorists and leading photographers from Australia, Germany, Ireland, the UK and the USA to explore and illustrate the issues, the latest initiatives, and the possible future of the relationship between photography and the artist’s book.
Photography and the Artist's Book is divided into three sections, which focus on:
* Forms - The Photographic Essay, Photographic Novel and other Narrative Forms
* Sequence - Sequence, Seriality and Typology
* Audience - Zines, Multiples and Limited Editions
Among the themes explored are:
* Fictional Documentary Photography in Artists’ Books
* Artists and Albums
* Francesca Woodman's Artist's Books
* Revisiting Catharsis: Images of Post-Conflict Belfast
* Conceptual Documentary Photography as a Tool of Analysis
* Artistic Research and its Document as Artist’s Book
* Reinstating Touch in the Documentary Photobook
* Future Dissemination of the Self-Published Artists’ Book
