Photobooks Switzerland

28 May 2022, 11:00 – 29 May 2022, 18:00

Photobooks Switzerland will be back for a second edition!

The photography book, which is nowadays the preferred medium of choice for many photographers, is at the heart of Photobooks Switzerland, an event initiated by the photographer Anastasia Mityukova and co-organized by Photoforum Pasquart. While the artist’s book has already been discussed more broadly, this is the first event of its kind devoted specifically to the photographic book in Switzerland. Photobooks Switzerland aims to bring the best of independent contemporary photographic publishing to Switzerland. It seeks to open up reflection and discussion about the status and importance of the photo book, as well as to convey new inputs and impressions about the possibility of the medium in the Swiss cultural scene.

Talks’ program

Talk on Saturday 28, 4pm (in English)

Photobook as a playground. About design, playfulness and dummies that cannot be published.

With: Soumya Sankar Bose, Pierre-Philippe Hofmann, Nicolas Polli, Felicitas Rohden, moderation Jana J. Haeckel

The panel addresses the challenges of designing and publishing photo books, introducing various interactive editions and systems to explore and “experience” the book and the photograph from very differing viewpoints. The speakers introduce various analogue and digital devices and technologies that extend the ‘classic’ book form, such as scientific models, video and soundtracks, in order to reach various communities associated with the world of the photobook.

Talk on Sunday 29, 4pm (in English)

Her gaze. Photobooks about the represention of body and gender roles with a critical approach to feminism.

With: Zoé Aubry, Tara Ulmann, Roxana Savin, moderation Sarah Girard.

For many female photographers, the format of the photo book is not just a useful means for showing their photographs, but also the perfect space for experimentation and creativity. Their works formulate a specific interest in reinterpreting the history of photography in terms of the depiction of the female body, redefining role models and questions of gender and sexuality, as introduced by the participants of the panel.
A foodtruck will be in front of the art centre during the event.
