THE PHOTOBOOK IN ART AND SOCIETY KARTONIERT (TB)

Since the turn of the millennium  the analogue photo book has experienced an international boom
developing into its own art form: a kind of visual literature  somewhere between novel and
film. More and more often  photographers are publishing their works in this format rather than
only as part of exhibitions. However  the photo book as an art form is hardly known to a wider
public. The multiyear project Welt im Umbruch (World in Transition)  which the Montag Stiftung
initiated together with the PhotoBookMuseum  made one attempt to change this. In Rostock 
Duisburg  and Kassel  members of the public were able to get to know photobooks as an artistic
form of expression and to design photobooks of their own.This volume not only documents the
experience-based knowledge of all participants but also introduces the history of the photobook
along with theories and current practices of participative art. It collects contributions on
the production and distribution conditions of photobooks from Asia  Europe  and the United
States. In addition to the medium's political and emancipatory potential  topics discussed
include the reasons for the analogue photobook's enormous appeal in the digital present.
