Immaterial Books is a publisher of contemporary art and literature on photo media and its practice. We are dedicated to publishing works that challenge the boundaries between image, text, and theory. We seek books that resist classification—projects that inhabit the space between visual culture, social theory, and experimental documentary. We publish works that are not only visually compelling but also intellectually rigorous as a medium of critical inquiry.
What draws us to a project is often a certain ambiguity. We look for works that are neither purely documentary nor purely aesthetic but instead inhabit the space between—a kind of quiet tension that invites re-viewing/reading. Design plays a central role in this: each book is approached as a unique object, with form emerging from the logic of the work itself rather than from a fixed house style.
