Summary: The Pier registers the refurbishment and use of a found room underneath a pier in Malmo, Sweden.

If we take the liberty of doing things out of the ordinary, we can catch something we didn’t know was there.

Some kind of creative power.
Usually this is hidden but once in a while we can find it.

However, this can be done only if we work on our own terms not having to consider the conventions.
A lot can be accomplished with two pairs of hands, without the need of a boss or money.

This is a story that took place under a pier on the outskirts of Malmö between January and May in 2009.
Everything can be changed.
Everything can be turned into poetry.

Date and place of birth of photographer/s: 1981, Malmö, 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
