In a world increasingly shaped by digital content, this exhibition reaffirms the photobook’s tactile power, transcending language and culture to offer multi-layered narratives of our times. Through paper, imagery, and the rich textures of contemporary photography, viewers are invited into the quiet, unhurried art of storytelling.

At its heart, the SIPF Photobook Open Call welcomes both published and dummy photobooks, honouring the finest works with the Best Published Photobook and Best Dummy Photobook Awards. Guided by this milestone edition’s theme, In My End Is My Beginning, the showcase invites you to look back in order to look forward, discovering how each printed page continues to gather new meaning with every reader who returns to look.

The 10th SIPF Photobook Showcase features a selection of 41 shortlisted entries from a total of 188 applications from over 37 countries
