A “three-headed night creature”
dienacht calls themselves a “three-headed night creature” as the collective works in three directions: a publishing house, a magazine and an educational platform.
dienacht means “night” and we are interested in everything hidden, shadowed, unknown. We seek to find it and reveal in the form of a photobook.
All these are focused on photography, visual arts and photography books. Within the °Lab they are offering photobook publishing workshops, project mentoring and curation.
dienacht Photobook Workshop map spans across Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. In the past 10 years they have hosted numerous photobook making workshops in Germany, Austria, Denmark, Spain, France, Slovenia, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Mexico.
dienacht is known for carefully crafted, often hand-bound books, limited and collector editions. We may say, their style is recognizable to some extent while every publication is unique and noticeably involves a lot of editing, creative and design effort. These books offer a variety of experiments with material, finishing and form, exploring and developing the medium.
