Photo Book Club

On February 22nd, we'll gather at Bildband Berlin for a lovely afternoon of discussion about photobooks.

Event theme:

What happens when beauty is subverted, distorted, or made unsettling? We will explore how photographers challenge conventional notions of beauty, revealing its fragility, contradictions, and darker undercurrents.

How can an image transform the familiar into something uncanny, or expose the tension between attraction and discomfort? We’ll examine how artists use photography to disrupt expectations, push boundaries, and make us question what we find beautiful—and why.

Please take note of our event rules:

1. Bringing a book is encouraged but not required. We’ll be discussing books, and there are books available at Bildband if you’d like to use one for our chat. Additionally, feel free to share a book found online if you don’t have a physical copy.
2. Jump in and share your thoughts—this event's all about participation, not a lecture. We’re here for open discussion, so expect to get involved!
3. It’s also a no-promo zone. We want a safe space for artists, creators, and photo book lovers to connect, so please don’t pitch or promote your own work here. Feel free to share personal insights respectfully, but keep the focus on discussion, not self-promotion.
