“The book was the goal of many early experiments in the field of photography – it is a traditional, natural space for it. A particularly fascinating field of action, because it allows direct physical contact with the image. The book's materiality is seductive, it encourages you to carefully view the images placed in it, it evokes a special, personal relationship with the reader. Students of the Department of Photography often reach for the book as a means of unrestricted artistic expression. They edit and interpret both series of own photographs as well as sets of images found, selected according to the original idea. They use the possibilities of experimenting, questioning publishing conventions, creating new original visual narratives.”
“The photography department of the Ecole supérieure des Arts de l’image LE 75 based in Brussels, commonly known as “le septantecinq”, has been created by photographers opened to all dimensions of the medium almost 50 years ago. The department strongly encourages author’s vision, focused on the visual creation as a language and a documentary approach as a world enquiry and questioning.
Our 3 years’ programme programme provides the necessary technical and artistic skills in the two major fields of analogue and digital photography. It initiates students in the history of the medium and concepts, firmly supports the critical reflexion and depths image in the core of contemporary issues.
Photobooks production makes full sense in the programme. It reflects its visual storytelling identity commitment, articulates with concepts which students deal with and explores supports as a natural part of the processes. The school is also developing a full way of assembling art books through editing, self-made inks and publishing, graphic design and bookbinding techniques, amongst others.
A selection of 19 photobooks has been proposed for the international show Booki by Hugues de Wurstemberger, professor of Photography at the 75. They reflect various projects and formats in the field which demonstrate once again the inseparable approach of creating images and ways of presenting them in a book, which does take form as a creative and original object for the photographer.”
“In the study program at the Institute of Creative Photography, the creation of photographic books occupies a very important place. Each second-year student under the supervision of Jindřich Štreit prepares a publication using a style referring to traditional documentary photography on a specific social topic, a photographic diary, or a subjective document. While most of these projects are classic books intended for sale in bookstores, as part of the Author's Book course under the direction of Rafał Milach, students of the 4th year focus on creating less traditional forms of publications, in the style of current selfpublishing trends, with a large space for their own authorial statement that has nothing to do with the commercial point of view. Many of these publications were created as part of bachelor's, master's and doctoral dissertations. Increasingly, they are published also in larger editions, some of them have penetrated the international market or have been awarded at photographic and book festivals.”
“The work presented here has its origins in a photography book workshop (approximately 8 teaching days spread over 2 months) held in the 2nd year of the MA in Photography course. The aims of the workshop are to concentrate the students’ attention on the intentional, structural and formal choices made with a view to publishing (editorial work and formalization). The photo book must be published in-house using an inkjet or electrophotographic process. Printing and post-production work must be completed within the time frame of the workshop.
The specificity of the workshop is that students work on a corpus they have not produced themselves, allowing them to concentrate their creative input on the editorial process alone. An exception may be made for those wishing to work on a corpus already in existence, on the condition that the photographs are reworked and that the students distance themselves from the original creative context in which they were taken.”
“Perhaps a photograph that tells stories can be beautiful, decorative. But if it tells a story, it will not be because of its aesthetic properties but because of the new perspectives that it offers us of the world. The stories told through this photography books selection from students at MA Photography at Universidad Politecnica Valencia are told through what is not seen, from the invisible. What it is hidden and does not appear in the photograph is what it makes extraordinary books extraordinary. And this selection is full of them. And of stories.”
