DECEMBER – BOOKSALE

25 YEARS OF PARADOX - 25% DISCOUNT ON SELECTED PHOTO BOOKS

Seasons greetings, photobook lovers!

In 2019/2020, Paradox celebrates 25 years of documentary projects. Founded in 1993, our first four productions became visible in 1995. Starting with a film projection in the streets of Amsterdam, The Neighbor Next Door, by Shimon Attie, Paradox went on to produce extensive documentary projects. Remember Ad van Denderen’s early look at the refugee crisis Go No Go in 2003? Seen BITTER Chocolate Stories in collaboration with Tony’s Chocolonely, still on show at Tropenmuseum Amsterdam?

To kick off the celebrations, Paradox offers 25% off on some (not all!) of our favourite books, both recent publications and all-time classics of which only a few copies remain. Get your holiday gifts now in the YdocStore! Discount applies until January 15.

Me We - Koos Breukel

The Me We book (2013) presents over two hundred portraits, together telling a universal and simultaneously very personal life story. The overview contains work Breukel made in the past thirty years, much of which was never yet shown. Breukel gives all aspects of life – from birth and joy to illness and death – an equal place in this book, that is somewhat of an alternative, universal family album.
