You are invited to visit Gignouxphotos at Offprint London 2025, which returns to Tate Modern for its 10th anniversary edition. The book fair will run from Friday 16th to Sunday 18th May in the majestic turbine hall. Be sure to check out the Offprint London 2025 dynamic programme of talks, conversations, book launches and signings throughout the weekend.
We will be showcasing our full catalogue of in print limited edition photobooks and zines. This includes our recently published zine, The Powers That Be, a second collaboration between Chloe Juno and Alan Gignoux and a topical exploration of electioneering and political outcomes. We will also be selling Russian Rust Belt, a photobook containing 182 photographs taken in the Ural industrial region in 2009. In addition, visitors will be able to purchase our exhibition-in-a-book, You can see me but I don’t exist, containing portraits of refugees by Alan Gignoux combined with their poetry, as well as Canadian Rangers, a photo-essay looking at the Inuit rangers protecting the Canadian Arctic, now in its second edition.
This year’s Offprint London may be the final chance to snap up the last remaining copies of Monuments by Chloe Juno and Alan Gignoux (commemorating the German villages slated for destruction to make way for coal mining) and Vancouver Pride (covering the Pride parade in 2014).
New zine launch
In addition to these titles, we will be launching our latest zine, Tangier Island. Presented in the same small format as Canadian Rangers and Vancouver Pride, this new publication is a photo-essay looking at the small community of “watermen” living on this remote island in America’s Chesapeake Bay. Although they have survived on fishing Maryland blue crabs and oysters since the mid-nineteenth century, their homes and way of life are now under threat from geological changes and rising sea levels caused by global warming.
New title in development
Visitors to Offprint London 2025 will be able to collect a free postcard (above and below) from a selection showing images from Alan Gignoux’s 2003-5 project Homeland Lost, which pairs portraits of Palestinian refugees with their former homes and villages in Israel. (The portraits are separated from the landscapes in the postcards shown above, but the images in the grid correspond.) Photographer Alan Gignoux, researcher and editor Jenny Christensson, and the team at Gignouxphotos are currently working on a photobook that will for the first time publish portraits and landscape images from Gignoux’s extensive project archive. Twenty years on from the origination of Homeland Lost, this series remains important as a reminder of the losses suffered by individual Palestinians and of the tragic repercussions of the Nakba.
