Summary: ” In search of a better life and more opportunities, you move away. You leave everything you know behind. Over the ocean to another continent. That’s where you settle.
What do you need so you still understand who you are? How do you model your surroundings and how do you make your new home your own…”

In the nineteen fifties, Dutch photographer Frits Gerritsen photographed a polder in Canada, inhabited with Dutch immigrants. In 2005 and 2006, Andrea again photographed that same polder, while collecting visual material of its former inhabitants: people who recorded their transition to a new and unknown life.

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
