Summary: The idea of this book is that of a parade, a flow in which the spectator gets taken from a place to another, bouncing on and off. The images, while being from different parts of the world, repeat themselves in an exotic pattern and announce each other throughout the pages. They depict a global image of exoticism that isn’t specific to a place, or a country, but rather characterizes a uniformed ideal. The indications of place and time only reinforce the impression that everything has been leveled and unified.
There is no actual “paradise” here, but representations, hints of wilderness as seen through ordinary objects: exotic fruits, supermarket shots, plush toys, and other kitsch objects. Artifice merges into reality in an undistinguished mass of images to reveal it is all a game that we play with ourselves.

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
