ACMV × COSMOS Book Market

ACMV had the pleasure to take part in the COSMOS Book Market, which took place from July 7 – 12, 2014 at La Muléta, 2 rue de la paix in Arles, during the annual photofestival Les Rencontres d’Arles 2014.

Invited by Sebastian Hau & Olivier Cablat, Oliver & I presented our platform Actual Colors May Vary {ACMV} on a cute little popup-table, and played some ping-pong with some lovely folks…

Among others, Paul Gaffney presented his bautiful new photobook We Make the Path by Walking, and Diane Vincent brought along copies of her new photobook OBEN.

Excerpt from an article on BJP – British Journal of Photography:

I don’t want to say we’ve got the best publishers, because that’s not interesting. We want to get stuff that people might not see elsewhere. I think choosing who to work with comes from the energy of the publisher and what they invest in the community.”
