Summary

Bettina Lockemann: Thinking the Photobook explores the photobook as a unique artistic medium. It examines how the format, paper materiality, binding, image selection, layout, typography, and texts collectively shape the viewer's experience. Lockemann combines art theory and phenomenology to establish precise analytical terms, positioning the photobook as an independent subject within art studies. This practice-based analysis of contemporary photobooks offers a rigorous approach to understanding this visual and tactile form.

Ideal for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in photography, visual arts, and book studies seeking a critical and research-oriented perspective on the photobook.

Description

The photobook visually and materially contextualises arrangements of photographs and brings them into a sensually tangible form. The book format, the materiality of the paper, and the type of binding have just as much effect on the viewer as the selection of images, their positioning in the layout, typography, and texts.

The artist and theorist, Bettina Lockemann, provides an approach to the medium from a research perspective: considering the photobook as an independent subject of art studies, phenomenological discussions complement methodological lines of thought.

An important contribution to the photobook as an independent field of research, Lockemann elaborates precise terms for analysing this medium of renditions. Through a practice-based examination of contemporary photobooks, this reader gets to the root of the field of photobooks.
