Talking about Photobooks

Talking about Photobooks brings together a wide range of essays exploring the history of the photobook, its intersections with architecture and artificial intelligence, and its cultural roles—both at the centre and the margins of artistic discourse. The volume concludes with forward-looking reflections on what the next decade may hold for publishers, collectors, researchers, and enthusiasts of the medium.

With the rise of machine translation, non-English speakers now have the opportunity to engage with global conversations in real time. This book offers an excellent chance to explore current international perspectives—whether by diving into a specific essay that catches your interest or gradually reading across themes. This book is perfect for leisurely, contemplative winter reading.
