Summary: I’ve been wondering a lot about relationships and its associations with photography, especially with instant film. The ten images available in a pack of 4×5 instant film were the only images with which I limited myself. These represented opportunities to somehow define a relationship, with family members, women, friends, and others who I could never say to them plainly what I wanted to say. Only ten chances to “get it right.” The background for this project is rooted in Walker Percy’s 1966 novel “The Last Gentleman.”

Date and place of birth of photographer/s: 1990 Hickory, NC

The Indie Photobook Library is TWO!

On May 13, 2012, 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
