Claire Felicie © Armand Lucas

Claire Felicie gained international praise and recognition for her portraits of young Dutch marines, before, during, and after their deployment to Afghanistan – published as Here Are The Young Men (2009-2010). Since then she has focused on the military profession and the psychological impact of war. She traveled several times to (post) warzones such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Felicie has published four books of her work: three of them are self-published; one a completely handmade leporello, Daughters of the Sun – Female Peshmerga Fighters. Currently, Claire is working on a project about the seventy-five years of liberation in post-WWII Europe.

© Mauricio Toro Goya

Mauricio Toro Goya lives in Altovalsol, Chile. At an early age he was mentored by Sergio Larraín. Mauricio has had more than forty individual and collective international exhibitions. And his work has appeared in twenty-four books – his 2015 book, Milagreros, was featured in 10×10’s Contemporary Latin American Photobooks, aka CLAP!, anthology. His awards include a Fondart scholarship in Chile, a Conaculta scholarship in Mexico, and a Magnum Foundation scholarship. In 2016 and 2018 Mauricio was selected for the New York Times Annual Review. The work of Mauricio is defined by the use of early photographic practices, mainly ambrotypes, and a revisionist vocation for the Latin-American religious iconographic tradition. Mauricio’s work exposes the brutality and violence that history hides – oral tradition, legends, and myths are his sources of inspiration.

Lucile Boiron, the recipient of the 2019 Libraryman Award for her series Womb, lives and works in Paris. After studying applied arts, she attended École nationale supérieure Louis-Lumière in Saint-Denis near Paris. Boiron’s work focuses on color as the structure for a direct approach that subverts traditional documentary codes. In particular, she addresses issues of the body, vulnerability, aging, and destruction. In 2016, her work took a new turn to reflect on the fine art possibilities of photography and experiment with photographic processes that conceptually use images as building materials.

Libraryman, established in 2008 by Tony Cederteg, publishes contemporary photobooks, based in Antwerp and Stockholm. Working with photographers and artists who have an interest in publishing new or archival work, Libraryman believes in establishing a relationship with all involved in a project’s process. Working closely with the artist, Libraryman seeks to produce work that illustrates the artist’s original intentions – so their vision is never compromised. This collaborative effort ensures that both the artist and the publisher never sacrifice their carefully crafted identity.

Portrait of Duane Michals © Duane Michals.

Duane Michals (b. 1932, McKeesport, PA) is one of the great photographic innovators of the last century, widely known for his work with series, multiple exposures, and text. Beginning in the ’60s, an era of photojournalism, Michals manipulated the medium to communicate narratives with his sequences, appropriating cinema’s frame-by-frame format. He also incorporated handwritten text as a key component, giving voice to his singular musings, which are poetic, tragic, and humorous – often all at once. Michals received a BA from the University of Denver in 1953 and worked as a graphic designer until his involvement with photography deepened in the late 1950s. He currently lives and works in New York City – and is concentrating on making short films.

Portrait of Adam Fuss ©Andrea Blanch.

Adam Fuss (b. 1961) has refined a camera-less technique in his work, relying on the most basic infrastructure of photography: objects, light, and light-sensitive material. His work includes photograms of water droplets, smoke, flowers, christening gowns, and birds captured in flight. He is also known for reviving the laborious daguerreotype technique, with breathtaking results. His work is illustrated in several monographs, among them Adam Fuss and My Ghost. His work is included in the collections of MOMA, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum, and SFMoMA, among many others.

A big thank you to Richard and Ronny Grosbard for hosting us.
