Abstract

Photobook Week Aarhus (PWA) celebrated its tenth edition from 2 to 5 November 2023. The festival has existed since 2014 as a collaboration between Aarhus School of Architecture and Galleri Image. It reflects a continuous study of the discourse of photobooks.

PWA’s main venues are Aarhus School of Architecture; ARoS Aarhus Art Museum and Galleri Image. Other venues include HEART Herning Museum Of Contemporary Art and Godsbanen. The festival programme is dedicated to exhibitions and talks about publishing, researching, distributing, buying, trading, and collecting photobooks. You can also purchase new as well as vintage photobooks at the festival. Participation in the festival is free of charge and everyone is welcome.

The theme for PWA 2023 was " X: Future Revisited ". The festival payed homage to Albert Renger Patzsch's famous book Die Welt ist schön (The World is Beautiful), published 95 years ago, and looked at Artificial Intelligence for image making and scripting. PWA launched an international competition for artists who use artificial intelligence for storytelling in a photographic and post-photographic context. During the festival, there was a seminar on the latter with presentations by Boris Eldagsen, Signe Klejs, Olle Essvik and David Fathi.

A significant part of PWA revolves around the relationship between architecture, photography, and photobooks.
