How do hobbyists represent their passions photographically, particularly today, in our era of digital communication and cell phone cameras? \u003ci\u003eThe Hobbyist\u003c\/i\u003e is the first major publication to explore the relationship between photography and hobby culture, in connection both to the photographing of hobbies and to photography as a hobby. From the hippy cultures and avant-garde tendencies of the 1960s through the DIY culture of the 1980s to today’s maker movement, \u003ci\u003eThe Hobbyist\u003c\/i\u003e explores photography’s engagement with a wide variety of lively, often quirky obsessions. The book, produced in a magazine format to accompany an exhibition at the Fotomuseum Winterthur, brings together short anecdotal texts, artist interview, in-depth essays and works by Jeremy Deller and Alan Kane, Bill Owens, Chris Burden and Mike Mandel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Window Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059827785968,"sku":"9783959051705","price":17.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783959051705_p0.jpg?v=1769888858","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783959051705","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
