Simon Baker's library

Simon Baker, independent curator and photography book enthusiast, offers a lecture on the festival theme of Intimacy, through a personal selection of rare books and unpublished models.

Drawing from his own collection, he invites the public to explore how photographers approach private spheres, emotions, bodies and human relationships. Each work presented opens a door onto a sensitive universe, sometimes disturbing, but always profoundly human. By sharing his favorites and rare books, Simon Baker offers an enlightened look at contemporary photography and the power of the book as an intimate object, capable of conveying emotional truth. A captivating immersion in photographic publishing through the prism of the personal.
