This conference panel explores how text and images can be integrated to create narrative in photobooks. Long existing side by side the photograph and the word have now collided. Unravelling and investigating the relationship of photography & writing can be complex and perhaps even mind/perception altering. Russet Lederman maps out some of the history of words and images and leads a discussion into the possible futures. Brad Zellar and Nicholas Muellner present from their experiences of their own extensive ‘field work’ as investigators, researchers and writers.
This panel session was held at the Contemporary Artists' Books Conference at MoMA PS1 in New York City on September 27, 2014, part of Printed Matter's annual NY Art Book Fair.
