Summary: There was this old townie who used to roam around State Street back when I was living in Ann Arbor, MI. He was always talking to himself and looking for someone to listen, maybe give him some cash or cigarettes. This one night, real late, in the dead of winter, he stopped me. He said, If you walk around too much you’ll forget who you are. He had tears in his eyes as he said this. Before that night and after I’ve spent a good deal of time moving around, chasing something from one city to the next. I don’t know if this lifestyle is born out of necessity, a survival instinct, or if there’s something in the blood that keeps a person on the run. But after a while the foreign places start to feel familiar – the road and the spaces in between towns begin to feel like home. The more time I spend roaming around the more I know that townie was right. You can lose yourself on the road. You can forget where you’re going, what you love, and whatever it is you’ve been looking for your whole life. The photographs in this collection are sort of about that. These are the places I passed through while I was forgetting.

{photographs were shot in Spain, France, Netherlands, England, New York, Maine, California, New Mexico, West Virginia, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Georgia 2005-2010}

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
