ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Photobook Popup is dedicated to presenting photobook publishing projects in an experimental exploration of photographic research and publishing practice. This hybrid storefront-event space showcases the photobook dummies and editions created during the "Self-publishing and the Photobook" module of the BA (Hons) Photography degree at the LSBU School of Arts & Creative Industries. The photobooks are displayed for public viewing and are available for purchase, thereby fulfilling the public dimension inherent to the publishing format. An accompanying public programme of presentations is also taking place at the popup.
For the first edition, the School of Arts and Creative Industries at LSBU presented photobookworks created by students from their BA & MA Photography degrees, as well as a selection of recent photobooks from other London-based photography and publishing courses, including the University of East London and the University of Arts London.
The parallel program of talks and presentations offered the opportunity to explore the individual photobookworks through a series of informal presentations and to debate the role of photobook publishing in academic/photographic research.

Dot Young, ‘Extension’ applies theory to human hair that is used in the hair and beauty industry internationally for ‘hair extensions’. The research considers human hair as a global commodity, a material that is ‘farmed’, grown, harvested and traded around the globe, the economics of the industry, ethics, globalisation and cultural contexts.
Lara Gonzalez/Made and Published
A seemingly anonymous collection of 130 documents make up this archive that reveals the personal experiences of pursuing creative practice while mothering. Artists submitted examples of their work in the context of the Procreate Project. Artist researcher Lara Gonzalez edited and sequenced the works submitted to show different personal perspectives on the subject and to make sense of her own experience.

Alex Smith: Undergrown
Alastair Reed: The Light Blue Tunnel
Amy Warwick: Blame Your Parents
Emily Usher: The Groundskeeper
Emily Usher has been documenting Colin, the head groundskeeper’s at Leyton Orient Football Club for several months. The groundkeeper’s is a profession is generally understated and largely unknown - one that tends to be in the ‘shadows’. Football supporters my not necessarily know the passion and the amount of work gone into maintaining a football ground. The work reflects the beautiful, aesthetic side and highlights the tools and the craft, creating a story of the detailed knowledge that the work involves. Without a good groundskeeper there will be no game. The work aims to present Colin as Leyton Orient Football Club’s ‘unsung hero’
