Fw:#7 Pages — The Cuenca Edition

Fw:#7 Pages — The Cuenca Edition

2009 / 16 x 23 cm / 16 pages / texts in English and Spanish / Edit and design by Hans Gremmen / Publication made on the occasion of PhotoEspaña 2009. Including a transcript of a conversation between Fw: and Frits Gierstberg of the Nederlands Fotomuseum about the selection of Pages in Cuenca.

‘Pages’ is a constantly changing selection of photobooks by contemporary Dutch photographers, curated by Fw: in co-operation with Claudia Küssel. The selection is distinctive because it is made from the maker’s perspective and not from an art historical viewpoint. The selection not only provides an overview of current interests in the field of photobooks in the Netherlands but also aims to be a portrait of an era, showing how a particular generation of photographers, which includes the members of Fw:, use the medium of the book. In this respect, experimental forms are explicitly sought. Fw: discusses the selection for the exhibition ‘Pages’, which can be seen during PHotoEspaña, with Frits Gierstberg.
