Recent History of the Latvian Photobook

As in many other post-Soviet regions, in the Baltics for many years a photography book meant mostly a massive artist’s monograph or an exhibition catalogue. However, the scene has been stirred up recently by the younger generation of artists, designers and publishers, who are reaching out to the international photobook market and taking to the book form as a new challenge for presenting their ideas. Artist books in small print runs are being self-published, experimental publishing houses established and new international connections made.
