The Little big press exhibition was created to take stock of the trends that are changing radically the world of photography. An increasingly vitality moves the evolution of the photographic book ina independent direction, self-produced and reduced in scale: self-publishing and independent photo books, fanzines and small publisher are increasingly active and prolific in the world.
Enthusiasts Photography publisher, like Alec Soth, with his Little Brown Mushroom, Jason Fulford, brilliant founder of J & L, Stephen Gill, with Nobody Books, decided to work independently on photo books and drain through small publishers, self-productions that run parallel to the production of the major publishing houses. Engage in experiments involving the video, like the Germans Bohm Kobayashi, moving from collective experiences on the web, as the Italian fanzine 0-100, or carry out self-produced by the different facets, as in the case of Joachim Schmidt or Luca Donnini.
A freedom that allows research in materials, composition, print quality and peculiarities of the preparations. A constructive and experimental approach that represents the most exciting and
stimulating side of contemporary photography's book.

And that is reflected in a very open approach, where the line between
book, magazine and fanzine becomes unstable, which often sees the
photograph to be contaminated with the design, graphics, music, and
which finds its most natural dimension in a network of events where
small becomes large from blogs such as The Independent Photo Book to
initiatives such as the Indian Self-Publish Photobook Library and Be
Happy, up to events like the fair Offprint Paris.
The mapping presented here, certainly in part, sees the mainly
presence of Dutch, Swiss, Germans and Americans authors is the first
step to follow this spot in continuous expansion, the first annual
monitoring that will follow the rhythms of Fotoleggendo and will be
hosted in the spaces of Officine Fotografiche where a library along
this network has the potential to become an everyday practice.

Photomagazine
Fluid identity. Reckless changes in the language of images. Open questions.
What is photography in the Age of Facebook in which the private
becomes public and photo published? How we determinate a
self-determining freedom to photograph (and orphans) from purchasing
the newspaper?
Where the dividing line runs between a photographer and an artist who
uses photography as a tool?
on the Horizon of paper that you browse from Japan (Asphalt) Ireland
(Source), Finland (Photo Raw) United States (Aperture, Lay Flat), the
boundaries - and answers - are rewrote page after page photos , video,
painting, graphics converge into a single, new literature.
The frame shall be read as comic strips, old snapshots come out from
the drawers to become a visionary projections of the future, cut out
pictures, reassemble it, overlapping, in a proliferation of decisive
moments, in a succession of iconographic and semantic neologisms, from
New Docugraphic to Iphoneography.
Faced with the prospect of infinite vision, messy and inevitable
intertwining paths of photography, each magazine traces its route.
Each magazine offers a small, possible map to guide the eye.

2008 MoH/08, marks of honor 2008
Marks of Honour - A Stiking Library is a project centered on the value
of the photo book created in 2005 jointly by the gallery of Amsterdam

Coekin, Peter Gransen, Jens Liebchen, Michael Light, Matthew Sleeth,
Alec Soth and Jules Spinatsch.
"Who says a museum fund shall consist only of photographic prints?
You may start with a book from the collection of a hundred photo
books, you can ensure knowledge of the history of modern photographic
works by some excellent examples, both for the crowd of museums, the
curators and specialists. "
