Summary: Memory Traces relates to notions on landscape, culture, history and memory. Three books, the main photo-book and two satellite booklets together are composed to be an experience, in which a selection of landscape photographs are combined with a multi-layered range of texts including excerpts from travelogues (Bikini, Chernobyl), ‘written photographs’ and a short fictional story.
Memory Traces, the main book, consists of large format photographs taken in the historic locations Sarajevo; Hiroshima and Nagasaki; Berlin, Bitterfeld-Wolfen and Ronneburg; Bikini Island and Nam Island; Chernobyl; Khe San and My Lai between 1997 and 2008.

Höffding Step is a short story situated in the art-world which deals with ‘The Artification of Photography’ and ‘The End of Silver-based Photography’, amongst others.

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
