Inspiration: Presentation of favourite photo book

Task for 14. November 2018: present a photobook that you find particularly interesting because of its content or design.

You can find my presentation here: File:181113 PhotoBook Presentation Drosdz Andreas.pdf

The book is inspired by Bertold Brechts personal bible: When Brecht was in exile, he used his bible as a notebook and – for example – glued images in it. Chanarin and Broomberg only used pictures from the Archive of Modern Conflict. Founded in 1991, the Archive of Modern Conflict began as a collection of photographs relating to war and conflict but has since expanded its remit to become the vast and thematically diverse repository it is today.

Size: 16.2 cm x 21.6 cm

Pages: 768

Printing: CMYK offset

Finishing: Hardcover, Fake-leather covering, Gold embossed, Gilt-edging, Round edges

By allowing elements of the original text to guide their image selection, the artists explore themes of authorship, and the unspoken criteria used to determine acceptable evidence of conflict.
