Photobook as Object workshop has been held at Reminders Photography Stronghold by Jan Rosseel and Yumi Goto since 2014.
The upcoming Photobook as Object exhibition will feature a selection of several participants' work and the progress of the photobook each made and developed during the initial photobook-making workshop (held at Reminders Photography Stronghold last September) as well as the continued development and evolution of each participating artist's project since.
The initial approach of the workshop is to develop the artist's photographic project into photobook form by first delving deeper into the narrative of their work.
Participants then look at how employing various perspectives, visual approaches, and design techniques might better tell these stories to a broader audience in the in-depth and nuanced way that the photobook form allows. The workshop allows participants the space to learn new techniques and ways of thinking from the productive, constructive criticism of the workshop's tutors and their peers with this process ultimately helping each photographer eventually create a photobook that tells their story in the best way possible.
Many photographers arrive at the workshop with one idea for their photobook and leave with a dummy that is almost entirely unrecognizable from the initial concept they had arrived with.
In 2022, after a few postponements due to the pandemic, the Photobook as Object workshop came back more international than ever.
All participants worked alongside one another, sharing their unique worldviews and insights into each other's projects, helping participants to strengthen their storytelling and make it more accessible to international audiences.
Learning from both the tutors and each other, participants could discover elements of their narrative that might be unclear or entirely missing from their book. They learned about various presentation styles they might have not previously thought about or been introduced to. This whole process ultimately strengthened each photographer's initial dummy and gave them the tools to further develop more fleshed-out dummies after leaving the workshop.
