Shoji Ueda Kassel

Hi all,

We are very honored to share great news! Photographer Alec Soth (Magnum Photos) has nominated our book Shōji Ueda for Best Photobooks Kassel Award 2016.

“If I was a critic, I could probably articulate why this book is so successful. I’m sure I would mention the editor’s keen sequencing and the designer’s exquisite craftsmanship. But I’m not a critic, and my love of this book is not analytical. I treasure Ueda the way I treasure my favorite music: it makes me feel good. And no other book has made me feel this good in the last year.” Alec Soth.

The second edition of Shōji Ueda is still available on our website, in numerous bookshops as well as tomorrow Saturday 21 May 1pm-8pm at Bal Book Market , if you happen to be in Paris. We would be thrilled to see you there!

We wish you a pleasant week-end,

Cécile Poimboeuf-Koizumi & Vasantha Yogananthan
