MAP6 are delighted to share our new publication WALES: The Landscape Project. The work explores different aspects of the Welsh landscape, where nine photographers collaborated as pairs, plus one set of three, making images and joint editorial decisions together. The results are four succinct, photographic responses in zine form inspired by the distinctive landscape and character of Wales. The publication packages all four 40 pp zines within a belly band, with an accompanying text card. For this publication we had the opportunity to work with Iain Sarjeant from Another Place Press. We commissioned Iain to bring his unique vision and expertise to further help sequence and layout the zines, adding another form of collaboration to the project. The publication is a limited edition of 50, and we are already down to our last few, so thank you to everyone who has already purchased a copy.
We launched the publication on Saturday 22/4 at The Photobook Cafe in Shoreditch, London. It was a fun evening in a packed venue, thanks to everyone that came along. Thanks also to Dilly Thain, Specialist Sales Assistant at The Photographers' Gallery bookshop responsible for the zine/small press section, for chairing a conversation about the work and benefits of zine making over traditional photobook publishing. Another thanks to Matt Martin and the guys at TPC for being brilliant hosts and putting on the event. If you get a chance and your in London, why not pop in to The Photobook cafe, its a fab place with a wonderful selection of Photobooks. You can also see WALES: The Landscape Project on display.
