FOTODOK Bookclub #20

Detail

FOTODOK Book Club is a live talk show conceived by FOTODOK in collaboration with a photographer and photobook aficionado Rob Hornstra. For five years, Hornstra has been interviewing the makers of photobooks – photographers, designers and publishers. On the 12th of December 2019, FOTODOK Book Club celebrates its 20th anniversary and introduces a new moderator joining the project – the editor-in-chief of De Correspondent Sterre Sprengers. Starting from this edition and further in 2020, Hornstra and Sprengers will moderate the FOTODOK Book Club in turns.
