Top 10 Photobooks of 2016

Tim Clark, 1000 words mag, December 5, 2016

Selected by Tim Clark.

An annual tribute to the most exceptional photobook releases from the year that was – selected by our Editor in Chief.

 

This richly illustrated, cleverly designed book offers a small but brilliant insight into the collection of reknown photography dealer Michael Hoppen. The book empties images of their original evidential function and reconceptualises them in a new context and in a new time. Questioning what a ‘fact’ is a well-trodden area of investigation yet the presentation, editing, sequence and paper choices are very well-measured and all equally important to the publication as various parts separately. Rewards the curious.
