Talking Culture - Photobook Friday

Auckland Festival of Photography presents Talking Culture - Photobook Friday

Panel Presentations
The festival is pleased to bring to Auckland, for the 5th year running, our Photobook Friday event, kicking off the festival on the opening weekend. Come along to see presentations from photographers, international and local, who have published some of the best photography books over the past 12 months, while viewing a selection of these books in person. (Our International artists will be joining live - online)

Diana Markosian, who's book Santa Barbara was chosen as one of the top ten photobooks of 2020 by renowned photoblog 1000 Words. The book, published by Aperture, represents the photographer’s incredible personal story of immigration, adapted into film and photography.

Eiji Ohashi, a photographer from Japan who's book Roadside Lights Seasons: Winter is a beautiful tome of photographs of vending machines dotted around Japanese landscapes, ubiquitous in their strangeness and solitude. The book is part of a series and is published by Case Publishing.

Chris Leskovsek’s self-published book Not Too Bad is made up of fragments of his life in New Zealand, as he attempts to make sense of a place far from his home country of Chile.

Sara McIntyre presents her book, Observations of a Rural Nurse (Massey University Press), reflections on her time working in Kākahi, both as a nurse and doing rounds as a photographer.
