Bonjours Paris! The Fotobus made it possible for 32 students (and folding bikes) to travel to Paris. During the Paris Photo week, students had the opportunity to not only visit the titular art fair but also other events like polycopies festival, offprint book fair and many more.
Being an official guest at the Polycopies Festival, the bus was parked right next to the Seine in sight of the Louvre.There we presented the project, showed student book dummys as well as the fotobus library award shortlist and also held our nightly slideshow showcasing student projects. We are thankful to all guests, who came to the bus, talked about their work and answered student questions. These included household names in the photography world like Anastasia-Taylor Lind, Deanna Dikeman, Alec Soth and Gregory Halpern as well young photographers like Hady Bary and Abdul Kircher, whom we also welcomed as new honorary members of the Fotobus Society. A spontaneously organized party at the polycopies boat ended a week full of photobooks and new connections.
