About
Macaronibook is an independent publishing house founded by the photographer Camille Carbonaro in 2016 focusing on photographic and poetic projects that explore memory, identity, genealogy, and exile. Macaronibook aims to share societal, anthropological, and political topics with a particular focus on the relationship between photography, archives, and text.
It’s driven by a spirit of independence and permanent research of the harmony between narrative, form, paper, and printing through the publication of hand made book-object and fanzines in a limited number of copies.
We organise workshops on photo book and fanzine in Art schools, galleries, cultural and art places. Macaronibook also design and produce your photo books. Don’t hesitate to contact us for more information !
