Books published by Akina.

Valentina Abenavoli was born in the 1980s in Naples, Italy. She prefers photography in lyrical sequences that function at the edge of awareness and reverie. After completing a degree in photography, a Masters in book publishing and several odd jobs, Valentina co-founded in 2012 the independent publishing house AKINA with Alex Bocchetto. With a focus on challenging contemporary photography, AKINA collaborates with emerging and established artists to publish books that take an experimental approach to visual narrative structures, editing, paper combinations, and book production. AKINA’s books are published in limited and handmade editions
