Designers' Choice

Artphilein Library

Oct. 18th – Dec. 23rd 2022

How many approaches exist to choose a book in a public library? What influences your choices? What are you looking for in a library with more than 3000 photobooks? Are you attracted by covers and book spines? Are you interested in specific topics? Are you focused on a specific author?
We invited a group of graphic designers that collaborate with Artphilein Editions to visit our library and select a bunch of books. They answered to these questions and proposed different paths around the world of contemporary photobooks.
