The Photobook Show
Holiday Special: A Look Back at 2024
episode 19
Registration for this event is closed, but you can join our mailing list to hear about future events.
For this special holiday edition of The Photobook Show, Stefan Frank takes a very subjective look at his past year with photobooks to present a not-typical “best of” list. Stefan will bring out a pile of ten not-necessarily-new books — only some were published in 2024 — and they share a mix of puzzlement, excitement, beauty, and freshness that makes the world of photobooks so exciting for him. One of the rare beauties of our time is that we can now look back over the whole history of photography, accessible in book-form as it has never been before. Join us and share a favorite photobook of yours of 2024!
Stefan Frank is a photographer and writer, working from Heidelberg, Germany. Way before he came to photography, he studied mathematics and philosophy at Ruhr Universität Bochum and worked as an IT specialist. He studied at Atelier Smedsby with JH Engström and Margot Wallard in Paris in 2017, before he eventually began studying photography at Ostkreuzschule, Berlin, with Peter Bialobrzeski. He graduated in 2023 with the work Irgendwo (“Anywhere”), a project dealing with politically motivated crime and the terror-spree of the far right in Germany. He has been teaching with StrudelmediaLive since 2020, giving courses on surrealism, poetics of space, gestalt theory for photographers, and more. His work has been exhibited in Heidelberg, Frankfurt, and Berlin.
Stefan teaches the poetics of space, nighttime photography, and much more (including presenting The Photobook Show) for StrudelmediaLive.
