What is a Photograph, Actually?
What is a photograph — is it the negative? the digital file? a print hanging in an exhibition? or maybe a picture in a photobook? In this episode of The Photobook Show, we discuss the physical manifestation of the image. We’re used to a photograph being a malleable thing — it can assume many forms, like appearing on a screen or a billboard on the street or as a well-crafted print, all while staying the “same.” We’ll look at three photographers — American photographer Deborah Turbeville, French photographer Sarah Moon, and Japanese artist Kunié Sugiura — and their unique approaches to their prints and the special demands and compromises that this forces onto a photobook of their work.
