Photobook: The protest book
The seminar will illustrate some photographic books that speak of protest split by nation, mainly concerning the 1960s and 1970s, a period of strong dispute. In that twenty years the photographic book had a determining role for the communication and diffusion of the movements. The vision of these publications, rarely available, will allow us to understand their evolution, the peculiarities of printing, the graphics and the layout, focusing on their communication and use that has often crossed over into propaganda.
Photobook: history and evolution
Photographers have always wanted making photobooks, bound collections of their works or artistic challenge, from the birth of photography till now in a growing of innovation. While for some photographers the single print is considered the ultimate expression of their work, for many others the photobook is the most important and accessible vehicle for the wide spread communication of their vision.
I want to tell about the story of photobook revealing the ways in which photographers have influenced each other’s work through their books. I have selected photobooks that, in my opinion, are among the most important artistically/culturally and structural, a choise that goes beyond the value of photographers.
