Photobooks USA 2000–25

At the International Center of Photography, *Photobooks USA 2000–25* surveys a quarter-century of American photobook making, treating the book as an exhibition space with its own pacing, sequencing, and claims to truth. The selection tracks how photographers and publishers responded to 9/11, war, migration, policing, climate anxiety, and daily life under screens, often through small presses and community networks. In New York, where photobook culture is sustained by institutions, fairs, and independent printers, the show reads like a record of how images circulate and accrue authority. Its quiet argument is that the photobook has become one of the period’s most durable documentary forms.
