Summary: On his search for a painterly result without the actual use of a brush, Justin Winz developed his unique signature look, the Chemical-Scan-Technic, over the past years. The style of the works
resulting from this process is mysterious and unreal and at the same time very precise.
The conscious inclusion of uncontrollable chemical processes, as well as an intentionally intuitive
selection of the subjects and frames are important aspects of this way of working. Like this,
pictures appear that never reveal everything, that always seem to include a secret code, a sort
of sublayer.

Justin Winz wants to create “open spaces” with his images which the viewer can enter like an
unknown city he visits for the first time, whose surfaces and facades one immediately recognizes
for what they are but still feels a certain secret behind them, as places never only just contain the
moment, they contain much more, their history full of dramas, construction, destruction, suffer,
joy all of what one can not see but sense.

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
