PHOTOBOOK


Extracting from course description:
"Narrating the Photobook A three part thematic seminar that explores the narrrative possibilities of both traditional photobooks and exploring possibilities of the digital re-invention of the ‘photobook’ "

What is a photo book?? --> (Traditional)"to turn a series of photographs into a story" mentioned in course description "Photo books are therefore not only books with photos. They are also the expression of the story that a photographer wants to tell with his or her work, the unique result of a photographic vision."

Thinking about the media:
Physical book:

- Book can be a format to present in a completed way --> physical book, hard to change, remove or repalce its integrated content; it can be a good plateform for concrete results;
- Book has long life spam --> Sometimes we can be easily disappointed by 404 pages of online projects, but book, the physical format is a solid storage.

digital book:

- digital platform provides dynamic experience of reading/navigating-browing
- digital content can be generated and multimedia



Photobook -->In my case, I am not from photography background, that's why I am considering how to rework with image and text. My first intuition is to use exist material from films. So maybe I could say for this photobook project, it's all about repurposing content.

Context -->In 1969, Huebler issued one of his most famous statements: "The world is full of objects, more or less interesting; I do not wish to add any more."
-->Be boring by Kenneth Goldsmith
"I am the most boring writer that has ever lived. If there were an Olympic sport for extreme boredom, I would get a gold medal. My books are impossible to read straight through. In fact, every time I have to proofread them before sending them off to the publisher, I fall asleep repeatedly. You really don't need to read my books to get the idea of what they're like; you just need to know the general concept. "
