Since 2010, Blotto Books has been publishing books distinguished by exceptional content and formal quality. The focus is on artistic photography. All books are designed by the Berlin-based graphic design studio Troppo Design with exceptional design and conceptual standards, extending to meticulous production. Blotto Books aims to facilitate book projects – from questions of meaning to financial ones. We seek contact and collaboration with other players who work in similar ways and with whom we want to synergistically expand our possibilities.

Book presentation in Arles

As part of the exhibition 'Berliner Mischpoke', our publisher Blotto Books is presenting the second edition of Holger Biermann's New York book 'Leaving zToday' about September 11, 2001, which was shortlisted for the Luma Dummy Award last summer and whose first edition sold out within three months.

In this exhibition, Galerie Franzkowiak presents works by ParisBerlin›Fotogroup members Holger Biermann, Angelika Platen, Sebastian Rosenberg, and Andreas Trogisch alongside images by Rallye Vincent and Heike Grebin. The themes range from street photography to portraits, from music to magic, from representational to abstract. Distant yet related—a true mishmash.

The exhibition is part of the Festival OFF Arles 2025 (Gallery Nr. 52).
