So long, 2024, it was an amazing year for Overlapse filled with brilliant conversations and vivid memories of meeting terrific people across several engaging book fairs and festivals.
In wrapping up, we’re incredibly proud and grateful to see our latest title Thinking like an Island feature in some best books of the year lists, selected by the following:
– David O’Mara: Selected books of the year – “This book is something special and is sure to be at the top of the ‘books of the year’ lists. I’ve said it a few times but the best photobooks are those that become a collaboration between the artists, designer and publisher.”
– Giuseppe Oliverio for Lensculture: Favorite Photobooks 2024 – “Italian duo Gabriele Chiapparini and Camilla Marrese invite us to look at an island as a complex geographical and sociological ecosystem. A conceptual journey that unfolds into infinite possibilities thanks to the sensible and bold book design of Tiffany Jones.”
– Elin Spring and Suzanne Révy of What Will You Remember?: Favorite Photo Books 2024 – “A sculptural and interactive compact album of four books takes readers on a journey to an isolated island in the Mediterranean Sea… interchangeable sequences impart an enticing sense of a paradise lost and found.”
– Andrea Copetti of Tipi Bookshop: Our favorites: why you should absolutely discover them – “An inspiring reflection on the island ecosystem and the need for harmony between man and nature, essential for our future.”
– Viory Schellekens: My Favourite Books of 2024, Books as Objects, described as – “impressive, impactful books that hopefully left an imprint.”
– Ola Søndenå, of the Department of Special Collections at University of Bergen Library, shared his Top twenty Photobooks from 2024
– Yukihito Kono for IACK Japan: Favorite Books list
– Mireia Alises of Photo Art Books: 25 recommended photobooks of 2024 – “One of the things that has drawn us most to this book is its unconventional design and structure.”
It’s an honour to see our collaborations have meaning for people who encounter our books and return to them again and again 🙂
