Cosmos-Arles Books
Cosmos-Arles Books, a Rencontres d’Arles satellite event focusing on contemporary practices in photography publication.
For nine years, the event headed up by Olivier Cablat and Sebastian Hau has been a laboratory for expressing contemporary practices in photography, publishing and the visual arts. Dedicated to celebrating photography books and experimental practices around photography, every year the event attracts over 80 international publishers offering a selection of new publications, rare books, and limited editions. A breeding ground for sharing and friendly interaction, Cosmos-Arles-Books welcomes many French and international publishers again this year and offers experimental exhibition and publication projects, conferences, pop-ups, book signings, talks with artists and a host of events featuring photography books.
