For this year’s @gu.pho.festival festival, FiLBooks had the chance to share books and stories with a great community. Together with our friends from @fraglich.publishing (@lukas.birk and @nora.jaccaud ) and @vernacularsocialclub , we had a the most beautiful castle as our temporary home for long conversations, spontaneous connections, and the joy of vernacular photography.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by.
Arrivederci 🇮🇹

Quite A While by @cansuke is now in FiLBooks! 🍑
The book Quite a While explores the idea of forming a new whole from the remnants of destruction by reinterpreting the emotional gesture of ripping a stack of photographs. Torn into a handful of piles by Korkmaz’s partner after an exasperated exchange, the photographs are ripped from the center, allowing Korkmaz to repair the images by conjoining the halves together to create new images. The mending process speaks to the perseverance of relationships and an urge to re-contextualize frustrated memories, embracing the irreversible yet formative impacts of wounds. One of many such juxtapositions combines a plate of luscious peaches left in the couples’ bedroom in Buenos Aires with a view of their kitchen in Uruguay; Korkmaz alternates the sizes according to the space occupied in her memory, allowing photographs that loomed more largely in her recollection to occupy more space speaks to the complexity of love and attachment and the mind’s resilient capacity to reassemble, arrange, and mend.

@harry_gruyaert, his beautilful books and his ice-latte was here at FiLBooks on a warm spring evening in 2025. Thanks for everyone who stopped by today to celebrate the work of the pioneering @magnumphotos photographer. Was a great day to meet for the love of photography, under a green fluffy ivy ☘️
