About Fotobook DUMMIES Day
Fotobook DUMMIES Day is an artist-led initiative focusing on photobooks and self-publishing since 2018, currently based in Taipei, Taiwan.
First established as a photobook fair, with the aim of gathering artists who work with images and self-publishing, Fotobook DUMMIES Day experiments with these two mediums as a curatorial basis for exhibitions, events and artist talks.
Expanding the scope of the conversation further, Fotobook DUMMIES Day began an extensive field research project in Southeast Asia in 2019. In May 2022, Tropical Reading: Photobook and Self-Publishing was co-published by Fotobook DUMMIES Day and pon ding. In 2024, Limestone Books released the second English edition of Tropical Reading: Photobook and Self-Publishing. This project is still ongoing.
Fotobook DUMMIES Day focuses on "images," "self-publishing," and "community." It has held four editions of the photobook fair, transforming alternative spaces — a bar, a youth hostel, an independent bookstore and C-Lab— into a temporary gathering place for the self-publishing community. We extend a warm invitation to all artists, collectives, independent publishers, bookshops, and many more, to gather under one roof!
