Summary: The debut issue of Some Ways to Disappear presents the writings of Swedish author, Helena Kvarnström, with her short story, ‘A Stranger, A Happiness’ and the photographs of featured American photographer, Anthony Blasko, taken from his long-term project, ‘The Way Things Are’.

‘With windows and doors / That weep when you hold them’, is a group-show-in-print, featuring the photographic works of international artists, Hin Chua, Alistair Dickinson, Peter Eavis, James Hendrick, Kirill Kuletski, Carles Rodrigo and Nastya Tailakova. The work that constitutes the exhibition has been sensitively curated to form a collection of images that is at once distinct and ambiguous. The show casts a long, sideways glance at the nature of intimacy, loneliness, and abandonment.

Throughout the publication precisely culled extracts from hundreds of written submissions act as clues as to the first issues manifesto. Like all aspects of the publication, nothing stated or shown is ever obvious. Some Ways to Disappear resides in the misty-eyed space between the everyday and the dream.

Everything is lucid, nothing is apparent.

Date and place of birth of photographer/s: Anthony Blasko, born 1980, Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A.

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
