THE PHOTOBOOK SHOW WITH STEFAN FRANK. EPISODE 16. TRENT PARKE: A MONUMENTAL PHOTOBOOK

Stefan Frank's 16th episode of his StrudelmediaLive Photobook Show: in this episode Stefan presented “Trent Parke: A Monumental Photobook.”

The first edition of Australian Magnum photographer Trent Parke’s book “Monument" sold out only seven hours after it was released. This 300-page photobook has now been published by Stanley/Barker in a lavishly produced second edition. Usually in The Photobook Show we look at a couple of books, looking for connecting themes and how different photographers approach a topic. This time, though, Stefan looked in depth at this single (though monumental) book, examining its photographic language, how it is truly unique and inventive, and how it pays homage to Magnum’s long history of documentary photography.

In this photobook series, StrudelmediaLive teacher Stefan Frank is looking at recent (and not-so-recent) photobooks that you might not know about — and how they advance this unique medium.

This StrudelmediaLive Photobook Show was recorded on May 22, 2024.
