Summary: ON THE EDGE OF SOMEWHERE, Steve Giovinco photographs intimate and emotional relations between couples.

The images are taken from daily life, and the subjects are the artist and his wife. He focuses on unguarded moments showing a couple eating, resting, talking, feeling bored, listless, being sexual, et cetera—living—to capture intimate psychological and emotional feelings between two people.

Documenting how people live their lives, these photographs trace the poetry and lyricism of daily life and are taken as if there was no camera–or photographer–in the room. As a result, we experience a couple’s life unfold, see their unguarded moments, and watch them just exist.

Date and place of birth of photographer/s: 1961, Tarrytown, NY

The Indie Photobook Library is TWO!

This past weekend, the Indie Photobook Library celebrated its 2nd Anniversary. Thank you to all the photographers/artists/bookmakers that have made the collection what it is today! I’d also like to thank Advisory Board members Darius Himes, Andy Adams, Shane Lavalette, and Gabe Reed and all the venues that have welcomed the iPL. In the last two years, the collection has grown to almost 1000 books. The iPL continues to promote and showcase the books in the collection through international pop-up and feature-length exhibitions, articles, conferences, guest lectures, and also preserves them as a non-circulating public library. Having a specific collection dedicated to this contemporary movement in publishing allows for the development of future discourse on trends in self-publishing, the ability to reflect on and compare books in the collection, and for scholarly research to be conducted years, decades, and centuries to come. I am looking forward to continuing the iPL mission.

Cheers,
Larissa Leclair
Founder, Indie Photobook Library
