Issue Details

In this issue, guest editors Arthur Herrman and Jeroen Kummer (design duo Kummer & Herrman) challenge the idea of photobook-making as a solitary practice, inviting us instead to consider their dictate that “togetherness and mutual reinforcement are key for creating a successful project—especially in its realization in book form.” A section on “Design Books to Know” offers a quick-hit list of design-oriented books by designers and design critics including Irma Boom, Rick Poynor, and Andrew Sloat. Taco Hidde Bakker compiles brief conversations on collaboration between six teams of coconspirators: Laia Abril and Ramón Pez; Alejandro Cartagena, Fernando Galllegos, and Roberto Salazar; and Sarah Entwistle and Antonio de Luca; among others. Femke Lutgerink focuses the Designer Spotlight on Ania Nałęcka, who frequently works with the collective Sputnik Photos; and Arjen Ribbens profiles publisher Willem van Zoetendaal. Reviews include Giulia Zorzi on Lisa Barnard, Stephanie H. Tung on Xu Yong, Rahaab Allana on Laura El-Tantawy, Tamara Berghmans on Hillie de Rooij, and more. Issue 009 also presents the books shortlisted for the 2015 Paris Photo–Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards.
