After a long wait, the third leg of the Hong Kong Photo Book Awards tour is at Aarhus Photo Book Week in Denmark!
Photobook Week Aarhus is an open and inclusive event that highlights the importance of libraries as spaces for reflection, concentration, and creativity. In addition, the Aarhus Photo Book Week exhibition and lectures will cover contemporary topics such as immigration, globalization, and post-colonial thinking, artistic movements such as Fluxus, to highlight their role as sources of inspiration.
Or, the new photography art and culture just need more compatibility and creativity, creating a new artistic atmosphere and ideas under the integration of the new generation. For inspiration, I believe the innovative art concept advocated in Aarhus Photography Book Week would be a good choice for creators.

Coffee. It doesn’t have to be just coffee. This is not a coffee shop. Besides coffee, there are photography books.
It’s not just a coffee shop. A Si hopes that this space can be used to gather more diverse people.
A Si （Joe Lau, a member of the Lumenvisum’s board of directors) loves photography and collecting photography books. It welcomes everyone to enter “This is not a coffee shop”. You can read photobooks, chat and exchange ideas about photography in this space.
And the idea is approximate the founding idea of the Hong Kong Photobook Festival, which aims to connect photographers, artists, and publishing houses from all over the world with the platform of traveling exhibitions, and provides an opportunity for young artists to connect with the world. In addition, photobooks can also be transmitted and read in a limited space as an object, increasing the personal contact and interaction with the audience. Even in a leisurely coffee shop, readers can understand the content and concept of the work without the limitation of space.
Please imagine that you are drinking coffee, reading sample photography books from Hong Kong, exchanging creative ideas and opinions leisurely, it would be a relaxing time for you.

The second destination for our touring exhibitions ：
Fotobokfestival Oslo
Fotobokfestival Oslo is a week-long event that aims to explore the photobook as an artistic medium and phenomenon. The festival was established by The Norwegian Association of Fine Art Photographers (FFF) in 2009. Since its beginning, it has continued to feature widely recognized art photographers and young, new participants in photography, the photo book genre, and publishing activity nationally and internationally.
Date： From 19 Aug to 04 Sep 2021
“Touching the Distance, Thinking in Relation: Photography as a Practice of seeing”, is focused on the issue of representation in photography: How does photography speak for or affect various important personal, social, and political issues? In other words, the photographic medium is considered a tool, witness, and register of how we see, connect, and relate to others and the world.
The festival’s books are grouped into four interconnected themes:
(1) ‘Representation and Beyond’ investigate broadly defined portraiture;
(2) ‘Photography and Words’ is devoted to a genre of books dealing with a particularly strong relationship between image and text – especially literary texts;
(3) ‘Photography and Public Space’ focuses on the problematic question of who (and how) one is present in city public space.
(4) ‘Critical Contexts’includes books that elaborate or comment on vital issues related to contemporary photography.
