These can be printed or unique pieces, made of paper, fabric or glass, in two or three dimensions&#8230; Some people make them as videos, or through embroidery, or by planting grass with chosen patterns. Roberto Muffoletto, editor and founder of Vasa Journal, was also there: he looked at all the books and suggested I write this series. Every day I walked past Zazie Books, the bookstore owned by Paola Contino, but it took me a while before going in. Then I looked, browsed, asked questions, and discovered that Paola not only runs a bookstore specialized in photography, but also has experience as a photobook editor and as a juror at festivals. Unfortunately for me, she is too busy to give me an interview, so I will limit myself to my reflections and the words we exchanged.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9260\" src=\"https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie1-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie1-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie1.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before opening the bookstore, Paola worked in Rome for a small publisher of photobooks and did everything, including editing. She says that when she lays out a book, she needs to place all the prints on the floor and then move them around until she finds a convincing \u201cstory.\u201d Her bookstore carries very diverse volumes, by Italian and international authors, including some vintage editions. It is clearly a passion, not just a job. It cannot be easy to run a specialized bookstore in Modica, a town famous for its chocolate and for being the birthplace of the poet Salvatore Quasimodo. There is an art high school, there are artists who live there, others were born there and live elsewhere, and still others have arrived from near and far and settled there. People even come from the United States to find a home. But without a car, it is not easy to get there. There is an important art gallery, which also represents Moira Ricci, and another that has recently opened, but not all artists work with photography. And not all photographers work with art.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9261\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9261\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9261\" src=\"https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie2-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie2-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie2-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie2-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/carla-vasa4-zazie2.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zazie books, Modica<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There are not many specialized bookstores that I know.

Here too, I will only write about those I know. I apologize to all those I do not mention. For example, at <strong>Paris Photo<\/strong> the <strong>Aperture PhotoBook Award<\/strong> takes place every year, with prizes in three categories: <em>First PhotoBook, PhotoBook of the Year, Photography Catalog of the Year. <\/em>I look at the shortlist\u2014covers, titles, and names\u2014and discover that artists who design their own books, as I do, are a small minority. Almost all turn to a designer. Aperture is too important for me to speak about it, so I will let them speak from their website: <em>&#8220;Aperture is a nonprofit publisher that leads conversations around photography worldwide. From our base in New York, Aperture connects global audiences and supports artists through our acclaimed quarterly magazine, books, exhibitions, digital platforms, public programs, limited-edition prints, and awards.

Their website, while celebrating fifty years of activity, says: <em>Starting in the early 60s, many of the pioneering conceptual artists (as well as performance, process, environment, sound and other experimental media artists) began to explore the possibilities of the book form as an artistic medium. Large-edition and economically produced publications allowed experimentation with artworks that were affordable and could circulate outside of the mainstream gallery system. Printed Matter provided a space that championed artists\u2019 books as complex and meaningful artworks, helping bring broader visibility to a medium that was not widely embraced at the time.(&#8230;) Printed Matter founded the NY and LA art fairs (in 2006 and 2013 respectively), which have become the world\u2019s largest venues for the distribution, investigation and celebration of artists books and art publishing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9279 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-07-at-15.46.36-1024x494.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-07-at-15.46.36-1024x494.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-07-at-15.46.36-300x145.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-07-at-15.46.36-150x72.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-07-at-15.46.36-768x370.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/vjic.org\/vjic2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-07-at-15.46.36.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I am not a fan of magazines, I prefer books, but recently I have started following <strong>AnOther Magazine<\/strong>, which describes itself as &#8220;A modern eye on fashion culture and ideas&#8221;, and has a section dedicated to photography and art.

The <em>APhF Pick:24 Book<\/em> jury gives an award by choosing among photobooks published in the last year. <em>Unfolded Chapters<\/em> is a celebration of the photography book: it digs into libraries and archives and rediscovers old editions. The idea, beautiful and not easy, is to give new life to the volume that becomes the theme of the year, reconnecting past and present through contemporary storytelling. The <strong>Singapore International Photography Festival<\/strong> (SIPF) is run by <strong>DECK<\/strong>, a charity full of ideas, which in addition to artist residencies offers courses and conferences on how to create photobooks and on the future of art publishing. They recently had a conversation on how to construct the artist&#8217;s book: the ideas, decisions, and processes behind making an artist\u2019s book\u2014from initial concept to material form. They also organize a competition for very young photographers, aged 13\u201325, in two categories: Junior and Youth, with the claim &#8220;Let the Prizes Support You!&#8221; At 15 or 20, receiving a cash prize and photography materials and participating in an international festival is certainly a great encouragement.
