Erik Van Der Weijde

In the last ten years, the Dutch photographer Erik van der Weijde has been responsible for over fifty publications: these include not only slim photozines and simply produced brochures but also voluminous cloth-bound books -- many of them distributed via his own publishing house 4478ZINE. This Is Not My Book provides for the first time an overview of his work, which constitutes one of the most important artistic positions at the interface between photography and independent publishing. The book uses large-format representations to show the lines of connection between he individual publications. It also contains van der Weijde's 4478ZINE publishing manifesto and other texts as well as ve conversations with the publishers Anne K nig and Jan Wenzel. This Is Not My Book indicates a full stop, an act of punctuation set down by the author with his published work.
