Photobook Club #39: Bodies Teaming up with yolk bookshop, this session turns the lens on our bodies. In a time where scrutiny is widespread - and at times even embraced- how comfortable are we with accepting ourselves in our simplest form? This session explores nudity as both a vessel and a muse, through curated photobooks from yolk bookshop’s personal collection. 與 yolk bookshop 攜手合作，本次交流會將鏡頭對準我們的身體。在這個甚麼都評頭品足一番的時代，我們對於以最純粹的樣貌接納自己，究竟有多自在？本次活動將透過 yolk bookshop 私人收藏的精選攝影書，探索人體藝術如何同時作為一種載體與靈感來源。 FEATURED BOOKS INCLUDE 精選書籍包括 : • Archives De Nuit by Helmut Newton • Photoedtion 2 by Uwe Ommer • Masterpieces of Erotic Photography by David Bailey • Misty Dawn Portrait of a Muse by Jock Sturges • The Eternal Body by Ruth Bernhard • Other Rooms by Jo Ann Callis • Kate by Kate Moss • Rome by Anders Petersen 📅 Date 日期: Fri 22 May ⏰ Time 時間：7:00 PM – 9:00 PM 📍 Venue 地點：LUMO，12/F Foo Tak Building, 365-367 Hennessey Rd, Wan Chai 💿 Max 名額：12 Persons（free to join） 🎤 Language 語言: English supplementary with Chinese 🔗 Signup 報名：Link in bio Participants must be 18 years old and above 參加者須年滿18歲 Font: Typefesse by Océane Juvin.

How to Make a Book with Steidl Jörg Adolph, Gereon Wetzel • Documentary • 2010 • 1h 28min • English Subtitles Jan 22nd Thur 19:20 Kowloon Post-screening discussion with Phoboko @phoboko DM @liquidity.crisis.film.society to register In this age of digital media, Gerhard Steidl stands as one of the few remaining publishers to maintain an unwavering commitment to the quality and craftsmanship of the printed book. For more than forty years, Steidl has personally supervised the publishing and printing of some of the most significant books on fashion, art, and photography. In HOW TO MAKE A BOOK WITH STEIDL, filmmakers Gereon Wetzel and Joerg Adolph observe Steidl as he travels the world to meet and collaborate with such renowned photographers as Joel Sternfeld, Jeff Wall, and Ed Ruscha, working tirelessly to present their work in beautifully created books. Providing an insightful look at the way Steidl‘s printing press operates in Goettingen, Germany, HOW TO MAKE A BOOK also presents Steidl as a dynamic entrepreneur with an uncompromising passion for the craft of bookmaking. 在現今的數位媒體時代，格哈德‧施泰特爾（Gerhard Steidl）是少數仍堅持對紙本書品質和工藝一絲不苟的出版商之一。四十多年來，施泰特爾親自監督出版和印刷了一些關於時尚、藝術和攝影領域最重要的書籍。在紀錄片《HOW TO MAKE A BOOK WITH STEIDL》中，電影製作人格雷昂·韋策爾（Gereon Wetzel）和約爾格·阿道夫（Joerg Adolph）跟隨施泰特爾的腳步，記錄他週遊世界，與喬爾·斯特恩菲爾德（Joel Sternfeld）、傑夫·沃爾（Jeff Wall ） 、艾德·魯沙 （Ed Ruscha）等著名攝影師會面和合作，孜孜不倦地將他們的作品呈現在精美的書籍中。這部紀錄片不僅深入展現了施泰特爾位於德國哥廷根的印刷廠的運作方式，也展現了施泰特爾作為一位充滿活力的企業家，對書籍製作工藝有著毫不妥協的熱情。 * Phoboko is a community platform that brings people together through photobooks and the topics they contain. In addition to workshops and community events, Phoboko also runs Photobook Club meetings where photobooks are used as “social objects” for dialogues and knowledge exchange between participants.
