PhMuseum Annual #01 – Imperfetto
$45
PhMuseum Annual traces a full year in contemporary photography. Across 292 pages, you can enjoy portfolios, conversations, exhibitions, curatorial focuses, practical toolboxes, insights, and more.
The title of this Issue #01, Imperfetto, draws from the Italian word’s double meaning, referring both to a verb tense that describes ongoing actions in the past and to an adjective describing things that are incomplete or deviating from an ideal state of perfection. Both interpretations apply to the content of this publication, featuring long-term projects by photographers exploring contemporary issues from a slow, critical perspective, whose visual essays aim not for completion but to provide a basis for conversation and reflection. Imperfetto also reflects the nature of this printed publication, covering the past 12 months of activities at PhMuseum and crafted after a summer of planning, writing, and designing, which, despite all the effort, might still contain errors or inconsistencies that we embrace.
