Highly uncomfortable photo books

More about the book

Paul Kooiker?s and Erik Kessels?s fascination for pictorial non-fiction books comes from the need to find images that exist on the fringe of regular commercial photo books. It?s only in this area that it?s possible to find images with an uncontrived quality. Books like this are rarely available in regular shops and have to be found, like a treasure, in thrift stores and from antiquaries.00'Highly Uncomfortable Photo Books' is the third publication in a sequel of Kooiker?s and Kessels?s collection of unconventional photo books. After ?Terribly Awesome Photo Books? (ISBN 9789490800093, 2012) and ?Incredibly Small Photo Books? (ISBN 9789490800154, 2013), this publication focusses on books that are barely watchable because of its controversial nature. Shown are books about sex, war, propaganda, medicine and balloons.
