Concept
Memory of Water and Light - New Horizons in Contemporary Photography Expression
Gazes that transcend time converge here. In an era where photography has become the language of daily life through smartphone proliferation, we once again ask the fundamental questions: "What is photography?" "What is the essence of expression?"
At the ART PHOTO BOOK FAIR, we present and sell photo books that crystallize the souls of photographic artists who explore the boundary between life and death, transcending superficial beauty.
Artists Who Weave Time
Like facing subjects while holding one's breath underwater, each artist confronts their inner abyss to create these works. Here dwells a fundamental questioning of human existence that surpasses technical perfection.
