Pogovor: Fotoknjiga
Pogovor z Dejanom Habichtom o knjigi umetnika, fotografiji in fotoknjigi.
Tanja Lažetić: Na knjižni polici imava knjigo z naslovom The Photobook (Phaidon, 1997). Kupila sva jo
pred več kot desetimi leti. V knjigi so svetovno znani fotografi razvrščeni po abecedi in predstavljeni vsak
s po eno, najbolj prepoznavno fotografijo. Danes take knjige s takim naslovom ni več mogoče narediti.
Odkar sta Martin Parr in Garry Badger naredila The Photobook: A History, ki je izšla v dveh obsežnih
knjigah (Phaidon, 2004, 2006), je termin photobook postal ime za točno določeno vrsto knjig. Se strinjaš,
da to ime posloveniva kot fotoknjiga? Kako bi razložil, kaj je fotoknjiga?
Dejan Habicht: No ja, vsak, ki še ni slišal za Parra in Badgerja, lahko naredi The Photobook, kakršnega
imava na knjižni polici. Ali kakršnegakoli drugačnega. Da je Badger izvrstno definiral, kaj photobook je,
še ne pomeni, da je ta definicija zavezujoča za vse. Sicer pa sem prepričan, da med fotografskimi profesionalci
in med tistimi, ki vsak dan veselo fotografirajo s svojimi bolj ali manj pametnimi telefoni, še vedno večina
sploh ne ve, kdo sta Parr in Badger, niti jih ne zanima prezentacija fotk v knjigi. Lahko pa seveda sloveniva
photobook kot fotoknjiga: fotoknjiga je vsaj tako abstrakten izraz kot photofinish, pa ne vem, če se slednjega
sploh sloveni. Sicer pa saj veš, kakšna težava je z izrazom artist's book, za zdaj ga slovenimo kot knjigo
umetnika. Sicer gre za knjige, ki so umetniška dela in bi se zato lahko imenovale umetniške knjige, pa bi se
potem zapletali vsaj v pojme umetniškosti, če nam je pojem knjige že znan. Pa vendar mi je bolj všeč
poudarek na ustvarjalcu. Saj kakršnakoli knjiga že je, se je o tem odločal ustvarjalec. Mogoče pa vseeno
morava korak nazaj: kaj je, po tvojem, knjiga?
