Have you ever browsed a book underwater, perhaps in a swimming pool, while taking a shower, in a sauna or while relaxing in a bathtub? In the exhibition The Performing Photobook you can experience it by immersing your hands in an aquarium. The photobook used is from the collection "In Almost Every Picture" by Erik Kessels with photographs by Fred, the amateur photographer who for years enjoyed portraying his wife Valerie wet in water, in fountains, in swimming pools, at the sea, in waterfalls in every season of the year and its life.
Can a photobook still surprise you? What remains unseen and what has yet to be discovered? Is there anything else we need to perform with the photobook? We obsess over, sometimes even fetishize, these objects. Like bodies, photobooks themselves are in a state of becoming through 'performing'. The Performing Photobook exhibition aims to reestablish a new relationship with the photobook by playing and having an experience, opening up our imagination isolating the sensory perceptions (taste, touch, sight, hearing, and smell) and performing photobooks through the senses and gesture, but publicly and in the same intimate way that we do privately. In effect, saying in public what we say privately. In the exhibition, the public became a performer, alongside the photographers, artists, designers, volunteers, curators, printers, musicians, collectors, and all the people who interact with the photobooks and of course the photobooks themselves. #asmrsounds #water #performingarts #photobook #photography #underwater #festival
