After being presented for the first time last year, the Asia Pacific Photobook Archive returns for its second year to PhotoIreland, bringing many new publications from this very prolific region, largely ignored in the West.
Co-ordinated by Daniel Boetker-Smith, the archive is the only dedicated library of photobooks from this region in the world. The organisation offers its open access collection in Melbourne, Australia, travelling internationally to promote the work of emerging and established Asia-Pacific photographers.
