School of Photography at University of Gothenburg 2009

Summary

"All of us, who possess a special interest in the photographic image, have at one time stood devoutly fingering through a photography book, which we might not have been able to afford. We admire the paper, the binding, the print, and the unique circumstance provoked by the photography book; a sense of unity within a well-defined spatial area where we follow the flow of images just as the dramaturgy dictates, but undoubtedly with a commitment to the multitude of possible meanings that may occur. The format has few restrictions and we turn the pages over and over again; that is why we love and desire the photography book, even crave it.."
