Indie Photobook Library in CHINA – November 6-9
中国·丽水国际摄影文化节简介
The Indie Photobook Library will be in China for the Lishui Photography Festival, NOVEMBER 6-9, 2011.
The photobooks selected explore perspectives on “American life”, the theme for the Lishui Photography Festival. From both American and international photographers we are shown the diversity of what that can be – American consumerism, a personal commute, remnants of a man-made vacation destination, a poetic walk through New York, the KKK, ice fishing in Wisconsin, gritty city streets, communities in California, Ohio, Las Vegas and the South.
