ASMR PERFORMANCE
THE HANDS OF THE CURATOR

UNSEEN PHOTO FAIR 2017
21 SEPTEMBER
AMSTERDAM
POIUYT RADIO

ASMR provoking performance about the actual photobook situation. Where is going the photobook market? How a curator analyzes a photobook? By the story? By the editing? By the text? By the sequence? By the subject? By the photographer? By the publisher? By the photos? By the graphics? By the binding? By the paper? How much attention and time we give to all these factors when we are turning the pages? Are all the hands similar? Which hands you wish to flip your book? When you turn the pages of a photobook do you prefer the total silence or a vocal intervention of the author? How many books are made for general interest or for personal interest? Are you able to recognize a book by the sound of the touring of its pages? How many seconds do you dedicate to turn the pages of a book? This will be the first audio book of a photobook Festival, playing with the limits of photography, joking about the glamour trend of the contemporary photography, and the easy trend of a deictic communication based on the hand fetishism. Is still a photographic project when a photobook is invisible? Can the power of the sound of the touch give you the vision of the photobook?
