SELF-PUBLISHING Photomonth_kropki_duze

Self-publishing does what it says on the tin, i.e. the artist and the publisher are one in the same person. Photography self-publishing has its origins in the counterculture movements of the mid-twentieth century, which were independent of official culture and the primacy of creativity, and the punk movement of the 70s and 80s, which spread a DIY ideology. Self-publishing in photography contains, therefore, the idea of rebelling against the system – the art market, publishers, and the common photographic language. 

 
Today, photography self-publishing is mainly developing in the blogging and ex-blogging community, with the help of sites that show how to make photobooks and others that present and discuss them. The best of the virtual world – the unlimited artistic freedom – is transferred to the “real” and sublimated in the photobook, which, unlike a blog, requires a planned selection of material, composition, and above all returns materialness to photography. Photography once again gains physicality; it becomes a thing – a photo. Published at their own expense or through small publishers and foundations, in the most various ways, today’s photobook is, 40 years on, a manifestation of another counter-cultural rebellion against mass culture, copy culture, and standardisation. The slogan of this rebellion is: not available from Amazon or other standard outlets.
