3 September 2019: 10×10 hosted a salon with photographer Kristina Jurotschkin and Andrew Feynak, found of Zatara Press at the Penumbra Foundation in Manhattan.
Kristina Jurotschkin (b. 1981, Kazakhstan), immigrated with her family to Germany at the age of eleven. She decided to study photography after first receiving a degree in Russian literature and sociology. Kristina then studied photojournalism in Hannover – and after two years, studied visual arts at the Academy of Fine Arts, Leipzig, graduating in 2017. Her first book, Nothing but Clouds, was published by MACK in November 2017, and is included in 10×10’s Reading Room and anthology, How We See: Photobooks by Women.
Andrew Fedynak (Hartford Art School MFA) is a photographer, publisher, and educator located in Richmond, Virginia. His projects are often based around the practice of Zen, and he prefers the photobook as their final format. Fedynak created Zatara Press in 2014 to publish uniquely designed and collaboratively crafted “Artist’s Styled Photobooks” centered around the aesthetic design principles of Wabi Sabi. To ZP, photobooks are poetic art objects as well as statements or narratives. These photobooks reside in many museums’ collections, world-wide. Each year Fedynak continues to design photobooks for ZP and other publishers, while also working on his own personal photographic projects.
A big thank you to Leandro Villaro, Geoffrey Berliner and the entire Penumbra Foundation team.
