Summary: Swedish photographer Stefan Bladh’s monograph The Family published by Nouvel Publishing. Bladh followed a Turkish nomadic family for seven years, observing and documenting their struggles, as well as the perseverance of their human spirit. The Family offers beautiful photographs in both color and black and white that express an intimacy rarely executed to such a high degree. Bladh’s connection to his subjects and their hardships are both telling and tender. As Anders Petersen states in a brief afterword, “Stefan is invited both as a friend and a photographer and he is aware of the responsibility this invitation brings. You’ll find his pictures full of despair and tenderness, focusing on the humanity we share.”

Date and place of birth of photographer/s: 1976, Örebro, SWEDEN

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
