With more summery airs than ever, Fiebre Photobook Fest will contribute one more year to the dissemination and enhancement of the photobook as a product of great cultural interest, offering visitors the unique experience of discovering and exploring this great universe.
The photobook fair will be the heart of the festival, a space for dialogue and exchange with the aim of supporting and making visible the rich current production. It will feature 84 booths from small and large publishers, collectives, bookstores, galleries, schools, universities and self-publishers who use the photobook as a means of artistic expression or work in its dissemination. As a novelty, the “Photobook Fever Network” is being woven, a new mechanism to encourage and facilitate the acquisition of publications by collectors, institutions, foundations and public and private libraries during the festival.
The cycle of 10 meetings will give voice to different professionals who represent the varied context and rich current production, contributing to the promotion of collecting, as well as to the care and expansion of the photobook community and all others interested in exploring this format.
The 3 exhibitions (Cosecha 2024, Dummy Awards and Fiesta Fiesta) will bring a different point of view to the publishing scene. For new readers, it is an unbeatable opportunity to enter the fascinating universe of the creative process. And, for veterans, it is a good showcase for novelties and other ways of creating contemporary discourses that address current issues.
As a result of the festival’s commitment to visual education, this year’s workshop is aimed at creators who are looking for new tools to transfer their photographic projects to the book format and will focus on the three fundamental stages in the creationedition of a photobook: design with Natalia Troitiño, editing the sequence with Fosi Vegue and binding with Isabel Zambelli.
Fiebre launches a new format: the Rastro Photobook to give a second life to photobooks through exchange. If you bring a photobook, in exchange you get… another photobook!
In addition, Fiebre launches a new format: the Rastro Photobook to give a second life to photobooks through exchange. If you bring a photobook, in exchange you get… another photobook! In the Torreón 2 of the terrace, next to the rastro, will also take place the classic LIVE SCREEN PRINTING by Julio Cubillos, and the initiative ERROR 503. A solidarity action to support the legal assistance of students affected by the closure of EFTI, in which original prints will be sold to raise funds.
