„Pelikan“ has been selected for Photobookshow E and will be exhibited at John Hansard Gallery Central in Southampton from February 2 till March 2. Thanks Kevin and William!

Also it will be available from Café Lehmitz Photobooks at the Book Salon during Düsseldorf Photo Weekend from February 1 till 3. Thanks Richard!

There are still some remaining copies – you can order yours  directly from me at g.harhoff(at)gmail.com

Finally!

My Pelikan bookwork is finally ready! Digitally printed on 250 gsm Profimatt paper stock, A4 size ( 210 x 297 mm), bone folded and hand stitched by myself, then finished by a bookbinder:

The original dummy was shortlisted for the 2012 International Fotobook Festival and subsequently shown at Le Bal, Paris, and f-stop Festival, Leipzig. It was also selected for Photobookshow D in Helsinki and shortlisted for the Unpublished Dummy Award at Unseen Photo Festival, Amsterdam.

Thanks again to Markus Schaden for suggesting the unique folding structure and to Harvey Benge and to Wolfgang Zurborn for help with editing and sequencing!

100 copies, signed and numbered. € 23 plus shipping (€ 2 Germany, € 4 International). E-mail me at g.harhoff(at)gmail.com if you’re interested.

Done

Done with stitching! Today I brought the booklets back to the printer for trimming, next the bookbinder will join the two parts so there will be 100 copies of „Pelikan“. I have to pay the bookbinder by the hour so I cannot yet announce a final price. When I return from Texas on December 21 everything should be ready to be signed, numbered and shipped, so stay tuned.

Stitching

Sore fingers this weekend – hand stitching 200 booklets for my upcoming „Pelikan“ publication. I am doing roughly 20 copies per hour, about 60 left to go.

Folding

Folding tonight … in the picture it doesn’t appear to be such a lot but it took me almost three hours (with some much needed breaks to stretch my back).

Final test

Assembling some test copies of my upcoming self-published „Pelikan“-booklet – didn’t expect stitching 250 gsm paper to be that hard!
