This is a catalog of the 33 books shortlisted by the 2011 Kassel Photo Book Festival. The award recognizes these 33 books as the most outstanding photo books of the previous year, as selected by a jury of renowned photography experts from around the world. Each expert chose their favorite book and explained their choice in a brief statement. The award does not designate a single winner; instead, all nominated books are recognized on an equal footing. This selection of photo books illustrates the evolution of the medium: from simple, self-published experimental booklets to substantial, beautifully crafted books produced using traditional methods, as well as an exclusive, strictly limited box set of six books, available only by subscription. The selected books reflect the cultural trends of the era—a desire for autonomy and self-determination, the urge to share personal experiences and significant events, as well as the wish for preservation and perfection.
