About
Macaronibook is an independent publishing house founded by the photographer Camille Carbonaro in 2016 based between Brussels and Marseille. It focuses on photographic and poetic projects that deal about memory, identity, genealogy and exile with a particular attention to the relation between pictures, archives and texts.
It’s driven by a spirit of independence and permanent research of the harmony between paper, printing and images through the publication of hand made book-object and fanzines in a limited number of copies.
Baleine Blanche is the first collection of books published by Macaronibook between 2020 and 2022. Baleine Blanche collection is a desire to bring together six belgian and french photographers: Erell Hemmer, Martin Gallone, Natalie Malisse, Elie Carp, Henri Clément and Camille Carbonaro who work on the father figure, who shape, search and seek an image of the father.
